Quartz
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.
Mechanical
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.
Leather and Milanese mesh
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.
Metal mesh
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
Quartz watches require a simple battery check every 2 to 3 years.
Mechanical
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
Quartz watches have a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, that is to say they are waterproof up to 50 meters deep. However, salt water is not recommended.
Mechanical
For mechanical watches, they have a water resistance of 10 atmospheres (static pressure). The latter are thus waterproof up to 100 meters of depth. Nevertheless, salt water is not recommended.
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.
Quartz
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.
Mechanical
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.

I bought a pair of wonderful limited edition Schtroumpf and Schtroumpfette watches... and they are wonderful! Highly recommended and high quality products!!!

The bracelet is not easy to adjust and it should, in my case, measure a good centimetre more.
I wonder why the numbers 13, 21, 34, 89 and 144 are upside down (for the 55, the problem does not arise). I can explain: when you look at these numbers in a mirror, they indicate 31, 12, 43, 98 and indescribable (for 144) respectively. So they are not completely mirrored. I don't know if this is intentional, but I think it's a pity that it doesn't correspond to the exact reflection of the Fibonacci sequence.
More generally, on your site there are many watches about military battalions and commemorations of the world wars. It is undoubtedly nice for the amateurs of the great wars but not for the amateur of ordinary watches:
- · Smurfs, ok but not too much for my taste;
- · Da Vinci, original and to my taste so this is the one I chose;
- · Lunar 1969, original but bracelet not to my taste.
As for the rest, everything has something to do with the wars which limits the choices.
You will tell me that there is something for everyone and you will be right. However, I think that offering other models of watches could allow you to diversify your clientele.
Positive points
The object is superb. I had asked for the n°444/500 and I got it ?
The case is magnificent, a beautiful case for my watch.
The engravings on the dial are very fine and are a "plus".
Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase and I hope to have the opportunity to fall under the spell of one of your next creations ?
I offered my wife the Smurfette watch for our anniversary. Thanks to Clément, the delivery was fast! He had taken the trouble to phone me to specify the context. This watch is very pretty with its Milanese mesh bracelet and my wife is delighted! The easy and personalized contact with Col & MacArthur is highly appreciated!

Cette pièce de collection unique a été conçue en collaboration avec IMPS en la mémoire de l’univers de Peyo. Cette maîtresse du temps retrace l’histoire de ces petits bonshommes bleus depuis 1958, date de leur création, jusqu’à aujourd’hui.
La montre "Schtroumpf collector" est bien plus qu’un garde-temps, elle renferme ces émotions qui replongent l’acquéreur dans sa plus tendre enfance aux côtés de ces créatures sorties tout droit du monde imaginaire de Peyo.
Quelques secondes à renouer avec nos rêves d’enfant que chacun devrait préserver du temps.
