International Warranty

Frederique Constant

INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY

A Frederique Constant watch is guaranteed for a period of two years from the purchase date. This warranty predominantly covers manufacturing defects and is based on the following conditions: Frederique Constant S.A. will replace any defective components arising from a manufacturing error free of charge once the brand’s technical department has been notified of the defect and confirmed it. This warranty only takes effect if the watch returned is accompanied by the warranty certificate, duly dated, signed and stamped by a retailer authorised to represent the Frederique Constant brand. The international warranty does not cover loss and/or damage caused by accidents and/or defects caused by mishandling and/or the consequences of normal watch component ageing. Every watch entering our repair workshop will be subject to a visual and functional assessment / diagnosis by our master watchmaker, attesting to the condition of the piece received.

ADVICE

We recommend that you package a watch for repair carefully and send it with a copy of the International Warranty by registered and adequately insured mail. Shipping costs for watches sent to our service centre are the responsibility of the sender. Under no circumstances will Frederique Constant be liable for damage incurred when sending your watch to our service centre.

 

IMPORTANT
RETURNS

Watches still under international warranty will be returned by registered and insured mail unless otherwise specified, the associated return costs borne by the Frederique Constant brand.

Watches outside of their warranty period will be returned by registered and insured mail at the expense of the end customer.
