Charles Girardier's vision is to create watches that are made to last and be passed on from generation to generation.
All our components are 100% Swiss made in Geneva*. Each Charles Girardier watch is assembled and adjusted in its entirety by a highly qualified watchmaker. This guarantees traceability and constant quality.
We apply extremely strict quality standards for both the technical and aesthetic aspects. To guarantee a perfect working condition, we recommend that you entrust us with your watch every 5 years for a service. The first maintenance is free of charge.

In order to take care of your timepiece we kindly request that you to send us an e-mail beforehand to the following address : service@charles-girardier.com. Within 5 working days at the latest you will receive a special package with our address which will be used to send your watch in the best conditions. Do not send us a package by any other way, to avoid loss or damage!
However, and according to your wish, you can also deposit your watch at your authorized Charles Girardier dealer.
