MY WATCH

Which case size should I choose?

At GUSTAVE & Cie, there is no single ideal watch size: the choice depends notably on your wrist size and personal preferences.

As a general guideline, if your wrist measures less than 15 cm, we recommend a 36 mm case. If your wrist measures more than 18 cm, a 40 mm case may be more suitable.

What is the water resistance of my watch?

All our watches are water-resistant up to 5 ATM. They are suitable for everyday use, such as washing your hands, but are not designed for prolonged immersion.
The Jules, on the other hand, is water-resistant to 20 ATM and can be used for swimming and certain water activities.
However, we recommend checking the specific usage precautions for your model.

How long does the battery in my quartz watch last? 

The average lifespan of a battery is approximately 2 years, depending on the model and how the watch is used.

The battery can be replaced by a jeweler or watchmaker.

Is it possible to have my watch engraved? 

Yes, you can personalize your watch with an engraving directly when placing your order on our website.

Engraving is available for €19 for quartz models and €38 for automatic models.
For automatic models, engraving requires the assembly of a new watch and thus adds a delay of about one week to the preparation of your order.

What is the warranty period for my watch?

All our watches are covered by the applicable statutory warranties as well as our 2-year commercial warranty.

To learn more about the warranties and their terms and conditions, please consult our General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

What does the warranty cover? 

Our commercial warranty covers malfunctions resulting from a manufacturing defect or a defective part under normal use of the watch. It also covers the battery replacement of quartz watches during the commercial warranty period.

It does not cover, in particular, normal wear and tear, straps, damage resulting from impacts or improper use, improper immersion, or unauthorized intervention on the movement.

In the event of a problem, contact our customer service. If necessary, we will arrange for the return of the watch and send it to our workshops for repair or replacement.

USE OF WATCHES

How do I tell the time on my 12-hour watch? 

Our 12H single-hand watches display both the hour and minutes simultaneously with a single hand.

Telling the time is deliberately more intuitive and less precise than on a traditional watch, in the spirit of the GUSTAVE & Cie philosophy: taking the time to look at time differently.

Depending on the model, the markings allow you to read the following intervals:

  • Louis: 5 minutes
  • Georges: 5 minutes
  • Marie: 10 minutes

How do I read the time on my 24-hour watch? 

Our 24H single-hand watches revisit the 24-hour dial concept: the hand makes a full rotation of the dial in one day and allows you to gradually distinguish the different periods of the day.

The André, Antoine, Paul and Jules collections use this 24-hour reading principle.

The graduations allow you to read the following intervals:

  • André: 10 minutes
  • Antoine: 15 minutes
  • Paul: 10 minutes
  • Jules: 15 minutes

How do I set the time on my 12H watch? 

The setting procedure depends on the movement in your watch. We recommend following the instructions for your model available on our website.

When setting the watch, make sure to push the crown firmly back into its original position to preserve the watch's water resistance.

How do I set the time on my 24H watch? 

The setting procedure depends on the model and movement used. We recommend following the instructions corresponding to your watch available on our website.

For models equipped with a date, be sure to carefully follow the setting instructions to avoid damaging the mechanism.

How do I change my bracelets? 

Thanks to the spring bar system, you can change the bracelet in a few seconds, without tools.

When changing it, make sure to install the bracelet correctly and place the part equipped with the buckle at 12 o'clock.
