Warranty Conditions
1. INTERNATIONAL MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY
- The Montres Breguet SA International Warranty, which can only be issued by one of the official retailers of Montres Breguet SA, is valid for sixty (60) months from the date of purchase for Breguet®-watches purchased after 1 January 2025 and covers any defects in materials and workmanship existing at the time of delivery of the Breguet® watch purchased. The warranty is only valid if the activation is duly carried out by an official Montres Breguet SA retailer and the registration mentions the model reference, its individual number and the date of purchase.
During the warranty period and on presentation of the warranty card, you will benefit from a free repair service for any defect. In the event that the functionality of your Breguet watch cannot be restored by repairs, Montres Breguet SA undertakes to replace it with an identical Breguet watch or one with similar characteristics. The warranty period of the replacement watch ends sixty (60) months after the date of purchase of the replaced watch.
- This warranty does not cover: 1. normal wear and tear and ageing (e.g. scratches to the glass, alteration of the colour and/or material of non-metallic straps such as leather or rubber). 2. A Breguet watch that has been tampered with by an unauthorized person (e.g. for service or repair) or whose original condition has been altered beyond the control of Montres Breguet SA. 3. Indirect or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever resulting from the use, non-operation, defects or lack of accuracy of the Breguet watch. 4. Negligence, lack of proper care and regular maintenance (as recommended on our website: www.breguet.com). 5. Damage to any part of the watch (such as knocks, dents, crushing, broken glass, etc.) resulting from inappropriate/abusive use of the watch and any type of accident (such as dropping it or subjecting it to shocks, as well as exposing a non-waterproof watch to damp conditions, etc.). 6. Incorrect use of the watch and its functions as well as failure to follow the instructions in the user manual provided by Montres Breguet SA.
All other claims for damages additional to those defined in this warranty are expressly excluded.
- This manufacturer's warranty is independent of any warranty that may be provided by the seller, for which the seller assumes sole responsibility, and in no way affects the purchaser's rights against the seller or any other mandatory rights that the purchaser may have against the seller.
Montres Breguet SA Customer Service ensures that your Breguet watch is perfectly maintained. If your watch requires attention, please take it to an official Breguet retailer or an authorised Breguet Service Centre listed on our website: www.breguet.com, who can guarantee a service corresponding to the standards of Montres Breguet SA.
