About & Authenticity

  • What is a microbrand watch?
    • Microbrands are independent, small-scale watch companies that produce timepieces in limited quantities. They focus on unique designs, high-quality materials, and direct-to-consumer value rather than mass marketing.
  • Are all watches on Chrono Central authentic?
    • Yes. We are an authorised retailer for every brand we carry, and all watches ship directly from our inventory with official factory warranties and original packaging.

Shipping & Delivery

  • How long will it take to get my watch?
    • Orders are processed within 1–business day. Express Shipping takes 2–3 business days domestic. Tracking info is emailed immediately upon dispatch.
  • Do you ship internationally?
    • As a general rule, we don’t ship worldwide. Please contact us for international orders and may be subject to local customs duties and taxes, which are the responsibility of the buyer.

Warranty & Repairs

  • What kind of warranty comes with my watch?
    • Every watch includes a 1-to-2-year manufacturer’s warranty covering movement defects. This warranty does not cover accidental damage, wear and tear, or water damage exceeding the watch’s rated limits.
  • How do I get my watch serviced if there is an issue?
    • Contact our support team first. We will help you determine if the issue is covered under warranty and coordinate the repair directly with the microbrand’s official service centre.

Technical & Sizing

  • How do I resize my watch bracelet?
    • Most stainless steel bracelets use standard push-pins or screw-in links. We highly recommend taking your watch to a local jeweler or watchmaker to prevent accidental scratching during sizing.
  • What movements do these watches use?
    • Our curated microbrands use reliable, industry-standard movements from trusted manufacturers like Seiko (TMI), Citizen (Miyota), or Swiss makers like Sellita and ETA, detailed on each product page.
