Watch Repair

A friend of mine just sent his “Brand Name” automatic watch in for repair. Waiting to hear back about the cost of a repair or just a “tune up” is a time of dread for experienced watch owners. The phone rings and you are told that you are one day over the traditional one year warranty and when you hear the cost, you now have to make a decision about taking care of your watch or sending your child to college … LOL, just joking, it’s not quite THAT expensive. The fact is, however, there is a cost of ownership of your timepiece BUT there is something YOU can do about it. You take care of your car, snow blower, computer, and more … so how about that watch ? I just read a few articles about caring for your watch here, here, and here. While there is some repetition, I suggest you heed the call. Another way you can potentially reduce your “cost of ownership” is by purchasing a watch from a company that is so confident in their product that they offer an incredible 10 year warranty.

You may have noticed that we recently updated the photos on MôntrèkWatches.com to better capture every angle of our Diver Watch collection. We’re very proud of the quality and style our watches possess, and we wanted to give our visitors a clearer picture of each watch so they would be able to best decide which was right for them. But for as pleased as we are with how fantastic each shot came out, we understand that some people simply need to see, feel, and try on a watch before they can be sure it’s the one. The good news is most of you can do just that!

Môntrèk Watches are available at several fine retailers across the country. If you live near one of these retailers, or will be nearby for business or a vacation, we encourage you to stop by and see how unique and impressive our watches are in person!

If you own a Môntrèk Watch or have seen them in person, we’d love to know what you think. Please leave a comment below!

Doesn’t that sound easy ? I know, it also sounds a little self serving but if it works, why would you care ? So why do I think it works ? Well, the other day I went into the office and I had worked myself up into a fever pitch over the previous few days to ask for a raise. I marched myself right into the boss’s office … well, let’s say I asked his secretary if she could ask him if he had a minute. So I’m giving him my song and dance on why I deserve a raise and he interrupts me to comment on myMôntrèk Round Watch with PVD Coating. Yea, I know we sell these watches but I think he was surprised that I actually owned one and he commented on how business-like it looked and viola, a raise. Now I know you think that is all probably a crock and I don’t think, by any stretch of the imagination, I got that raise only because of my Môntrèk, but I do know that any edge is an edge. If you don’t believe me, take a look at this article: “Your Body at Work: A Guide to Sight-reading the Body Language of Business, Bosses and Boardrooms” by David Givens. Everything you do means something: the shoulder shrug, the pursed lips, hands on hips, and more. So what about wrist watches you ask ? From the article, “Many young people no longer wear wristwatches, since their cell phones tell the time. Givens says this is a mistake in many workplaces, since a watch is a symbol of respect for time.” So make that wish for a raise come true … work hard, be productive, and for that little extra edge to put you over the top, don’t forget to wear your Môntrèk Watch.
