Pre-owned watches, checked one by one.
Every watch is opened, timed on the bench, serviced where needed, then described in the exact language of watchmaking — before it joins the collection.
By house
Few brands, chosen for how they hold up over time — on the wrist as much as at resale.

Give us the reference, the year and the budget. We ask our consignors and our peers, and we write to you as soon as a watch matches — with its inspection report, like all the others.

What we do before we hand it over
A pre-owned watch does not have to be an uncertain one. Three stages, in this order, for every piece — without exception.
Opening & authentication
Case, caseback, crown, calibre: every component is compared against the manufacture’s references. Serial numbers are recorded and verified. A watch that does not match does not come in.
Bench testing & service
Rate, amplitude, power reserve and water resistance are measured. If the readings fall outside tolerance, the watch goes to a watchmaker for service before being offered.
Handover, inspection & warranty
Each watch is delivered with its inspection report and the exact list of its accessories — box, papers, links. You have 7 days to examine it in hand, and the two-year legal warranty of conformity.
You set the price.
We do the rest.
You hand over the watch, we check it, photograph it, present it and sell it. You remain the owner until it sells; the commission is stated in writing before it goes online, never after.
Horlo-Gerie is a consignment house, not a marketplace. Every watch passes through our hands before it appears here — it is slower, and that is exactly the point.
We describe watches in the exact language of watchmaking: full set when everything is there, papers only when that is the case, serviced with the date. No adjectives, facts.
