    • in the event that the delivery person does not ask you to sign or signs for you.
    • in the event of a strike, shortage, weather disturbance or natural disaster that would cause the delay or unsuccessful delivery of your order.

  2. The product is considered defective if it is damaged upon receipt or if a manufacturing defect is found in accordance with and within the warranty periods associated with the product concerned.
  3. Items damaged as a result of normal use will not be considered defective.
  4. If your watch is received faulty or if you discover a defect within the 5-year warranty period after delivery, you have the possibility to return it for repair. You must send your request in writing via our contact form on our website.
  5. Your watch is guaranteed for 5 years from the date of delivery. Claims for warranty or repair or even replacement will not give rise to any extension of this period.
  6. The warranty is excluded in the following cases:
    • damage due to normal wear and tear and ageing of the product.
    • damage due to improper assembly or assembly.
    • damage resulting from maintenance, repairs or dismantling not carried out by an MTWGenève-approved service centre.
    • damage due to improper use of the product, mistreatment, abuse, negligence, carelessness, deterioration caused by use of the products in abusive conditions such as violent shocks, crushing, rough handling of the clasp,....
    • damage due to transport and delivery.

  1. MTWGenève strongly advises against putting your leather strap in contact with water. Indeed, having not undergone any waterproofing treatment, your leather strap may be damaged (cracking, breaking, loss of colour). We invite you to remove your leather strap before washing your hands, taking a shower or swimming. Your warranty only covers manufacturing defects of your watch and not your bracelet.
  2. It is specified that MTWGenève's poster and promotional campaigns (intended by nature to highlight the aesthetic character of MTWGenève products, and which may sometimes represent MTWGenève products in unusual situations or uses) cannot be considered as examples of normal use of MTWGenève products which could be claimed as such by the end user. It is therefore understood that the MTWGenève warranty will be limited to cases of defect only appearing after normal and usual use, recognized for a watch.
  3. Upon analysis of the information contained in the request for return of a defective product, we reserve the right not to respond to your request for a legitimate reason (warranty period exceeded, defect not covered by the warranty, inappropriate use of the product, etc.).
  4. As part of the warranty, we propose to repair or replace defective items as far as possible. If the item cannot be replaced or repaired and the same item is no longer available, you will receive a full refund.
  5. Items must be sent using the return label provided by MTWGenève. Packages returned directly to our offices will not be processed, and returned to the sender.
  6. All returned products must be accompanied by all complete order information in order to facilitate their identification and expedite their processing. Unidentified returns will be returned to the sender.

  1. It is expressly stated that the products offered on our Website are intended for private use and that the products sold are not designed for professional use. MTWGenève cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect, material or immaterial damage related to the use or exploitation of the products ordered.

In addition, the products comply with Swiss legislation, but MTWGenève cannot be held liable in the event of non-compliance with the legislation of the country where the products are delivered: it is the customer's responsibility to check with the authorities of the importing country to find out if the product is authorised to do so.
  3. MTWGenève cannot be held liable for the non-performance of the contract concluded, on the one hand in the event of force majeure, as defined by the Swiss Civil Code, and on the other hand in the event of the Client's fault or the unforeseeable and insurmountable event of a third party to the contract or the consequences resulting from the misuse of the products sold on the Website.

13. Protection of personal data
