Notes the house receives.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The watch arrived in its bamboo box with the movement already wound and the engraving perfectly struck. My son opened it at the rehearsal dinner and was lost for words. I don't know what else to say.
— R. J. Milton Tamworth, NSW
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Ordered seven matching Hunter watches as groomsmen's gifts, all engraved with the wedding date. Dispatched together, all fit the same chain, each in its own cradle. The wedding party were genuinely surprised.
— D. Kavanagh Alice Springs, NT
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Pinned daily for three years on the night shift. Quiet movement, legible dial, no trouble. I recommend it to every new graduate nurse on my ward. The price-to-longevity ratio is honestly absurd.
— Sister M. Hayes Hobart, TAS
§ 07 · Before you order

Questions the house commonly receives.

Can you engrave the case-back?

Yes — watches in our Engravable range can be engraved by hand on the case-back in copperplate italic. Maximum thirty characters total. Engraving adds two to four business days to dispatch.

What movements do your watches use?

Most pieces use a hand-wound mechanical movement at 21,600 beats per hour, wound daily via the crown. A small number of entry pieces use Japanese quartz — noted on the product page. Every mechanical movement is checked by our Brisbane workshop before dispatch and covered by a twelve-month warranty.

Does the watch come gift-ready?

Every pocket watch ships with its chain already attached, its movement wound and its warranty card signed. Add the bamboo presentation box at checkout for $29 and it arrives in a silk-felt cradle, ready to hand over.

How long does dispatch take?

Un-engraved orders ship same-day from Brisbane if placed before 2pm AEST. Engraved pieces add two to four business days for our engraver. Free Australia-wide shipping on orders over fifty dollars. Worldwide by arrangement.

What is the warranty?

Twelve months on the mechanical or quartz movement from date of purchase. If a fault arises, contact our Brisbane workshop and we repair or replace the movement at no cost. Scratches to the case or crystal from daily wear are not defects.

Can I return an engraved watch?

Un-engraved pieces are returnable within 14 days for change-of-mind, provided the watch is in original condition with chain and packaging. Engraved pieces cannot be returned — the case-back can only be struck once.
