Every Reason to Add a Pre-Owned Watch to Your Collection
April 13, 2022
Tourneau | Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned timepieces carry unparalleled value in the world of watch collecting, with selections ranging from historic models that display legendary artistry to relatively recent pieces that are rare to find.
How to Best Select a Tourneau | Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned Timepiece
Whether you prefer vintage styling or a modern look, the options for Certified Pre-Owned timepieces are virtually endless. Collectors and enthusiasts often prefer Ceritifed Pre-Owned as they offer many values that a new timepiece does not.
When it comes to rare finds and limited-edition timepieces, there are Certified Pre-Owned models that truly cannot compare to the new watches in the current market. An example: Tourneau | Bucherer currently offers a Pre-Owned OMEGA Speedmaster Specialities Olympic Collection in stainless steel. This timepiece was created within the past decade, yet is an icon no longer available new.
While this OMEGA timepiece may appeal to collectors who appreciate the watchmaker’s history partnering with Olympic athletes, others may honor other areas of watchmaking history. A browse through the same Certified Pre-Owned collection will also find models with striking, distinctive designs such as a Cartier La Dona, which is no longer in production and features a unique silhouette unlike any other in the watchmaker’s collection.
And those in search of vintage timepieces will have no trouble finding models made in the 1990s and perhaps even earlier, offering modern functionality with historic design, thanks to the expert restorers in Tourneau | Bucherer’s in-house team of watchmakers.
With over 200 years of combined experience, Tourneau | Bucherer is the top destination for finding a Certified Pre-Owned timepiece. Our company is a union of two industry leaders who bring unique expertise and trusted knowledge in the fields of watch retail, certified restoration and client service.
Our team ensures only the finest selection of timepieces, selling Certified Authentic and Expertly Restored Pre-Owned watches.
Every model has been inspected and serviced by our in-house watchmakers, who guarantee our Certified Pre-Owned timepieces to function within original factory specifications. If necessary, a full movement service will be performed by our team. All parts are rigorously inspected, cleaned and repaired, using only original manufacturer parts to maintain Certified Authenticity. Our comprehensive, 30-point inspection studies technical functions, appearance and a series of diagnostic testing.
All watches must pass this inspection to join our refined selection. Our watchmakers look into technical functions that include alignment of hands, the screwing and unscrewing of the crown, bezel rotation and clasp adjustments, as well as specific complications functions such as a chronograph’s function, rapid date function and a chronograph minute-recorder’s jump.
When it comes to the appearance of our Certified Pre-Owned watches, we ensure that all timepieces appear just as they did when they were originally crafted. Our watchmakers not only examine the cleanliness of the case and bracelet, the dial and quality of the polishing, yet also consider the plating for crown and pushers, confirm that gaskets are in the correct position, check the crystal for dust and examine luminescent points on the dial and hands.
Finally, our diagnostic testing is completed to ensure all functions are within original factory specifications of our Certified Pre-Owned timepieces. These tests include a water resistance check, timing analysis, mechanical watch demagnetization and automatic cyclo test.
