Collectible watch or premium watch? Where watchmaking meets History
A heartfelt tribute to our master watchmaker from Liège
For the House of C&M, paying tribute to Hubert Sarton fulfills the mission of memory and transmission we have embraced through our collectible watches. It is a way of honoring our own roots—Liège, a land of miniature metal ingenuity—and of affirming our belief that innovation only has meaning when it can be passed on, when it transcends time through a singular timepiece. By celebrating this great watchmaker from Liège, we in turn place a witness of watchmaking history into the hands of the collector, inviting them to join us in a lineage of true timepiece enthusiasts.
Why every C&M collectible watch is truly unique
A numbered series
Distinction through a shared bond
Whether quartz or automatic, eachlimited-editioncollectible watchbears a number engraved on its case. This number is more than a simple sequence: it draws an invisible thread between all those who carry the same story on their wrist. Every piece becomes a link ina chain of passionate collectors who recognize one another through a shared fragment of History.
Your ambitions, your convictions
An enduring emblem
When you choose a Col&McArthur collectible watch, you do not simply wear a timepiece—you embody the momentum of a spirit that changed the course of history. The boldness embodied by Napoléon 1821 pulses beneath the sapphire, reminding us that no frontier is ever final; the insatiable curiosity of Leonardo 1519 whispers an invitation to see the world differently. Each piece in the Visionaries collection translates, into steel and sapphire, the inner fire of extraordinary minds.
Alongside this historical panache, the engraved words of the Signature series—Integrity, Loyalty, Resilience—offer simple, constant markers: a personal thread the watch extends, discreetly, with every beat.
Your reflection, your mark
Engrave your collectible watch
The authentic fragment and the numbered series tell a collective epic; engraving inscribes your own chapter into an exceptional timepiece.
Engrave a defining date, a guiding family motto, or the coordinates of a place that shaped your unique path.
Fully integrated into our Liège workshop, the engraving service transforms your watch through personalized engraving in just minutes—approximately thirty minutes during a showroom visit, or up to five business days for online orders within Europe and up to ten business days for orders outside Europe.
The engraving of your collectible watch is CNC-milled under micro-controlled precision, then examined under magnification before final polishing. Nearly one in three owners chooses this step, a sign that a Col&McArthur is truly complete only when your mark joins the fragment of History it carries.
Passionate about watchmaking and collectible watches?
Assemble your own personal timepiece
Twice a year—in May and October—Col&McArthur opens the doors of its Liège workshop during Open House events reserved for true lovers of collectible watches and watchmaking craft.
The program includes a guided tour behind the scenes, open conversation with our watchmakers, and above all, the exclusive experience of assembling your own timepiece under their supervision. You secure the oscillating weight, seat the movement, fasten the caseback; each gesture, accompanied by technical insight and historical anecdotes, allows you to feel the intimate heartbeat of the piece you will take home.
