A quartz watch consists of an electronic circuit driven by a battery. The energy of the battery is used to vibrate a quartz oscillator and thus to operate the watch. Because of its electronic nature, the quartz movement is the most precise in watchmaking.
A mechanical watch is powered by the energy stored in a spring in the watch movement. Mechanical watches from Col&MacArthur are self-winding. This means that they are recharged by the movement of an oscillating weight when the watch is worn. Col&MacArthur watches have a power reserve of approximately 36 hours. After this period without being worn, the watch must be manually wound thanks to the winding stem.
The leather and Milanese mesh strap can be adjusted at a watchmaker, who has the right equipment, or directly at the Col&MacArthur workshop. Please do not hesitate to contact us if necessary, by phone at +32 460 22 67 87 or by e-mail at contact@cmarthur.com, or via the online chat or the “Contact us” tab.
If you are manual, it is however possible to perform this task on your own, thanks to the explanatory videos at your disposal.
Indeed, for this type of strap, the Col&MacArthur team offers a premium service to adjust the strap to your wrist before sending the watch. You will receive an e-mail as soon as you place your order on our official website.
In addition, upon receipt of your order, the watch is provided with additional mesh. Thus, the metal mesh strap can also be modified later. At a watchmaker, who has the right equipment or directly at the Col&MacArthur workshop. Please do not hesitate to contact us if necessary, by phone at +32 460 22 67 87 or by e-mail at contact@cmarthur.com, or via the online chat or the “Contact us” tab.
Quartz watches require a simple battery check every 2 to 3 years.
For mechanical watches, full maintenance is required every 3 years. It is also advisable to wind the watches regularly in order to activate the mechanism.
Quartz watches are water-resistant up to 5 atmospheres, meaning they can withstand depths of up to 50 meters. However, exposure to saltwater is not recommended. Diving is also discouraged, as the dynamic pressure from water impact can affect certain seals, potentially compromising the watch's integrity. To ensure water resistance, it is essential that the crown is properly pushed in and must never be operated underwater.
Regarding mechanical watches, they are water-resistant up to 10 atmospheres, which equates to depths of up to 100 meters. However, exposure to saltwater is still not recommended. Diving is also discouraged, as the dynamic pressure from water impact can affect certain seals, potentially compromising the watch’s integrity. To ensure water resistance, it is essential that the crown is properly pushed in and must never be operated underwater.
Watches can be used for sports activities. Nevertheless, sudden movements and shocks should be avoided.
All our watches are quality timepieces and are designed with the greatest care. However, it is essential to treat them as delicate jewellery. We recommend that you do not expose them to water, such as bath water, swimming pool water or sea water.
Water can damage the internal components and alter the beauty of your watch. To preserve their quality and elegance, we advise you to keep them away from water.
There is an average running time only for mechanical watches, this one is 38 hours. The average running time of Col&MacArthur watches indicates how long the watch remains functional without being worn. After this delay, the watch must be manually wound.
If you are prone to allergic reactions, contact the Col&MacArthur team, they will be happy to answer your questions.
The tolerance varies depending on the models and the type of watch you want to purchase.
Our quartz watches are more accurate than our mechanical watches. These contain within them a quartz which, under tension, vibrates at 35 kHz. The role of this crystal is to electronically process pulses on a regular basis. The accuracy of our quartz watches is -10 to +20 seconds per month.
These movements require regular maintenance in order to maintain increased tolerance. The accuracy of automatic mechanical watches is + or - 20 seconds per day. If you want more information about a particular model, you can directly download the datasheet of a watch in the « Technical description » tab on each of the product pages.
If you still have questions, you can contact the team by phone at +32 460 22 67 87 or by e-mail at contact@cmarthur.com, or via the online chat or via the “Contact us” tab.
The models we offer are unisex and vary between 38 and 43 mm in diameter. For each of our models you have the possibility to choose the type of strap and the diameter of the watch. In short, there is something for everyone.

The Seller reserves the right to change its prices at any time. The Goods will be invoiced on the basis of the prices in force at the time of the order confirmation. Any dispute regarding the price must be made in writing and addressed to the Seller's registered office within 15 days of payment.
Promotional codes and other discounts are only valid for the time period announced and subject to compliance with the conditions laid down. They cannot be combined.
For all orders, payment in cash is required and any late payment will imply, by right and without notice, the payment of interest at the legal rate, as from the due date of the invoice, as well as an indemnity of 10% of the amount due, with a minimum of 100 €.
Sauf stipulation contraire, la facture sera adressée par e-mail au Client.
Notwithstanding Article 1583 of the Civil Code, the Goods remain the exclusive property of the Seller until full payment of its invoices. Notwithstanding this reservation of ownership, all risks of loss and damage relating to the Goods concerned are transferred to the Customer as soon as he takes possession.
4.1. ORDER
In order to place an order via the Website, it is necessary to provide various information (including the billing and delivery address, a telephone number, etc.). Each Customer is solely responsible for the information provided and its accuracy. It is also possible to create a customer account. Each Customer must ensure that his or her account is protected against fraudulent use. This protection includes a sufficiently elaborate and strictly confidential password. The Customer must inform the Seller as soon as possible of any fraudulent use of his account.
The order and the production of the Goods are only validated after the Seller has received the payment made by the Customer, via the payment systems offered, and has sent a confirmation e-mail (provided that the Customer has provided a valid e-mail address). In the case of payment by bank transfer, it may take a few days to confirm receipt of the payment.
4.2. Pre-orders and deposits
Where pre-orders are possible, the Seller is entitled to cancel the sale at any time, including if a deposit has been paid, in return for a full refund of the deposit to the Customer, without the Customer being entitled to claim any compensation.
Subject to the right of withdrawal granted to Consumers, a pre-order (validated by the payment of a deposit) cannot be cancelled by a Customer.
4.3. Stock and promotion
The Goods are offered within the limits of available stocks. In the event of promotions carried out on certain Goods, within the limits of its resources and forecasts, the Seller shall ensure that it has sufficient stock to meet demand.
4.4. Personalisation
The Customer may choose to personalise the Goods with an engraving. In this case, the item is made to the Customer's specifications or is clearly personalised and does not qualify for the right of withdrawal.
The delivery of the Goods is carried out by the Seller (or a third party designated by it), using the means of transport of its choice, in the delivery areas it accepts, to the address provided by the Customer. The Goods travel at the Customer's risk, regardless of the means of transport chosen (see also Article 7, "Complaints").
5.1. Delivery time and date
Delivery times are given for information purposes only and are calculated from the date of actual receipt of payment from the Customer (in the case of payment by bank transfer, an additional period may be necessary). Any delays in delivery cannot give rise to damages or any reimbursement. No deliveries are made at weekends or on public holidays.
5.2. Delivery adress
Delivery can only take place in the geographical areas validated by the Seller. For certain areas, the Seller will contact the Customer to determine the best delivery system to use (particularly when the postal system is notoriously deficient or non-existent). In this case, additional costs may be charged to the Customer (insurance and/or a particular postal service).
The Customer is solely responsible for the delivery data provided and must provide all relevant information. If the data provided by the Customer to the Seller is incomplete and/or inaccurate, the Seller shall not be held responsible for the impossibility of delivering the Goods and the Customer shall not be entitled to any refund.
For deliveries to places other than private homes (office buildings, hotels, etc.), delivery is only guaranteed to the reception area / lobby.
5.3. Second delivery
If, for any reason (absence, incorrect address, etc.), the Customer has not taken delivery of the Goods and they are returned to the Seller, the cost of the second delivery will be charged to the Customer.
6.1. For Consumers :
The Goods are guaranteed against apparent defects and lack of conformity, subject to compliance with Article 7 of the General Conditions ("Complaints").
In accordance with legal requirements, new goods are guaranteed against any lack of conformity for a period of two years, starting from the date on which the Goods are made available by the Seller to the Consumer. If the lack of conformity appears after a period of six months from the delivery of the Goods, the proof of the existence of the defect at the time of delivery must be proven by the Consumer. A Good is in conformity if it meets the requirements of Article 1649 ter of the Civil Code.
The guarantee for quartz watches covers the components of the watch, with the exception of the battery, which is guaranteed for a period of 6 months. This specific warranty for the battery is without prejudice to the 2-year warranty for the other components of the watch.
In the event of a lack of conformity, the Consumer shall have the right, unless this is impossible or disproportionate, to require the Seller to repair the Goods or to replace them, all within a reasonable period of time, and without any major cost or inconvenience to the Consumer. If the Consumer is not entitled to repair or replacement of the Goods, or if the Seller has not carried out the repair or replacement within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to the Consumer, the Consumer shall be entitled to demand from the Seller an appropriate reduction in price or, in the case of a serious defect, rescission of the contract, to the exclusion of any claim for further damages. Account shall be taken of the worsening of the damage resulting from the use of the Goods by the Consumer after the time when he noticed the lack of conformity (or should have noticed it).
This clause does not preclude the guarantee for hidden defects in the item sold, as provided for in Articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code and the specific provisions of the General Conditions.
6.2. For professionals :
Subject to the provisions of Article 8, hidden defects are covered by the warranty for a period of one year, starting from the date the Goods are made available by the Seller to the Customer. Beyond one year, the legal warranty applies if the hidden defect existed at the time of delivery, and insofar as it makes the Good unfit for the use for which it is intended or significantly reduces its use.
The Customer must notify the Seller of the hidden defect by registered letter as soon as possible, and in any event within 7 days of the day on which he noticed the defect or should normally have noticed it. The Seller will decide, at its sole discretion, the most appropriate way to remedy the defects or the non-conformity, either the reimbursement of part of the purchase price, the replacement of the Goods, or the cancellation of the sale, without the Customer being able to claim any other compensation.
6.3. Limitations
The Seller shall not be liable for any damage caused by the use of the Goods, whether the damage is caused to the Customer, to his property or to third parties, even during the warranty period.
Excluded from the warranty are Goods whose damage is caused voluntarily or by negligence (breakage, breakage, humidity, inadequate temperature, oxidation, liquid infiltration, electrical surge, fire, or any other case of force majeure) and Goods showing signs of having been opened (or of having been repaired and/or modified by a third party not approved by the Seller); likewise, this warranty is not applicable insofar as the damage is the result of wear and tear, transport, improper use and/or failure to comply with the instructions contained in a user manual.
No application of the guarantee can have the effect of extending its duration.
6.4. Repair
If the Good is no longer covered by the guarantee, but no longer functions correctly, the Seller will provide the Customer with a technical team offering a rapid repair.
6.5. Warranty After Repair for Water Resistance and Shock
6.5.1. Warranty Conditions
Any watch sent to our After-Sales Service for repairs related to water resistance or shock will receive an additional 24-month warranty from the repair date. This warranty exclusively covers the repairs made to the parts specified in the repair report provided to the customer.
6.5.2. Warranty for Repairs
The post-repair warranty is valid only if:
6.5.3. Warranty Exclusions
The post-repair warranty does not cover:
6.5.4. Procedure for New Claims
In case of recurring or new issues with the repaired parts during the 24-month warranty period, the customer must contact After-Sales Service with proof of purchase or repair, along with the initial repair report. Claims must be made within 7 days of discovering the problem.
6.5.5. Limitation of Liability
The 24-month post-repair warranty does not extend the general warranty of the watch but applies exclusively to repairs related to water resistance or shocks. It does not cover indirect financial losses or damages caused by the watch's downtime during the repair process.
7.1. Complaints
The Goods must be examined on the day of delivery, to check whether they correspond to the order made. Under penalty of forfeiture, any reservation as to this must be mentioned on the delivery note and reported, in writing with an acknowledgement of receipt, to the Seller's head office. Under penalty of forfeiture, any complaint must be accompanied by a copy of the invoice and the delivery note and be duly documented and justified.
Complaints must be made by the Customer as soon as possible, i.e. in accordance with the legal time limits for Consumers (2 months from the date of the defect) and the day of delivery for professionals. After this period, the Goods are presumed to have been definitively approved by the Customer, and apparent defects are irrefutably presumed not to exist.
7.2. Right of withdrawal (only applicable to Consumers)
Project-specific reservations are useful for administrative support and order preparation. This reservation cannot be refunded even if the order is not finalised by the customer.
With the exception of personalised Goods (see below), the Consumer has a period of 14 days to withdraw from the contract, without having to give any reason for his decision and without incurring any costs other than those of delivery, in order to return the Goods to the Seller's registered office. The 14-day period starts to run from the date of delivery of the Goods. After the 14 day period, the Seller will no longer be able to accept the return and may send it back to the Consumer (subject to the Consumer paying the delivery costs).
To exercise his right of withdrawal, the Consumer must inform the Seller in writing, with acknowledgement of receipt, of his decision before the expiry of the 14 day period, by one of the following means :
- using the model withdrawal form in Annex 2 of Book VI. ("Market practices and consumer protection") of the Code of Economic Law
The Consumer exercising his right of withdrawal must return the Goods to the Seller, at the latest 14 days after communicating his decision to withdraw from the contract. The Consumer shall bear the direct costs of returning the Goods, as well as the risks associated with this return.
Without prejudice to the Consumer's right to carry out the necessary manipulations to enable him to establish the nature of the Good, its characteristics and its proper functioning, the Goods must be returned to the Seller in new condition, in their original packaging, also in perfect condition, without having been used. If the Consumer uses the Goods before the expiry of the 14 day period, he/she waives his/her right of withdrawal. The returned Good must be accompanied by the invoice and the delivery note. Any return whose sender cannot be identified will be refused.
The refund of the order will take place within 14 days of the Seller being informed of the Consumer's decision to withdraw from the contract exercised in accordance with this article, using the same means of payment as that used for the initial transaction, and provided that all the return procedures have been strictly respected and that the Seller has recovered the Good. The amount refunded shall in any case be limited to the amount actually paid by the Consumer. The Seller does not reimburse additional costs related to the choice of a delivery method other than the less expensive standard delivery method that it offers.
For personalised Goods (watch with engraving), the Consumer may not exercise the right of withdrawal provided for in the General Conditions. The Consumer may not return the Goods, nor request a refund or any compensation.

The Seller shall not be liable for any damage and/or direct or indirect loss (operating loss, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, etc.) resulting from a defect, malfunction or (improper) use of the Goods, except in the case of fraud on his part. Likewise, the Seller cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect damage and/or loss resulting from his gross negligence or fraud or gross negligence on the part of his employees and/or agents.

The rules relating to consumer protection are applicable in the context of relations between the Seller and a Consumer. The liability of the Seller cannot be extended beyond the mandatory legal provisions (Book VI. Market practices and consumer protection of the Code of Economic Law).
In any event, the Seller's liability remains in all cases limited to the sums paid for the order that generated the call for the Seller's liability.
The Seller shall not be held responsible for the non-execution of orders and/or deliveries in the event of force majeure such as, in particular, disruption or total or partial strike, blockage of road access and means of transport and/or communications, flooding, fire, accident, etc.

At any time, the Customer may request the modification of his personal data, deactivate his account and/or request its deletion by sending a specific request to the Seller.

The Seller retains the possibility of modifying the General Conditions at any time, after informing the Customer. The Customer shall be informed of such changes by e-mail, by means of a notice on the Website or by any other means set up by the Seller. The Customer will be asked to agree to these new general conditions. If the Customer does not agree, the Customer will no longer be able to place an order via the Website.
