Exceptional Watch & Outstanding Service! I recently purchased a Calibre de Cartier from The 1916 Company, and I couldnĘĽt be happier with my experience. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. What really stood out was the companyĘĽs customer service. My order was processed quickly, and shipping was prompt. The watch arrived securely packaged, and when I had a quick question about the condition, Erik responded promptly and accurately. Overall, I highly recommend The 1916 Company to anyone looking for a quality timepiece and a seamless shopping experience. IĘĽll definitely be a returning customer!

I have had several interactions with them, all good. Recently I have been searching for a rare Cartier pasha not usually available in the US. One appeared son their website and I bought it immediately. They told me the condition was immaculate and it was. Absolutely gorgeous. Pashas are unusual in winding and setting but this was clearly explained. The watch is the jewel of:my collection and they are my first choice to buy. My highest recommendation!

I purchased the Rolex GMT “Batman” preowned watch and was met with outstanding customer service by Max. He took my order via phone and handled my order with care. The transaction was smooth, and he shipped the watch with next day shipping. My husband loves the watch! I would definitely purchase from The 1916 Company again!

I was contacted quickly after reaching out to 1916 about a watch. I was paired with a buyer. She was super professional, very knowledgeable, and guided me to finding the right watch! When it's time for another watch I hope to work with 1916 again.

From beginning to end, the experience was top notch! I first contacted my SA Layla last year about my interest in a 26 ladies president Rolex watch. Back then I didn’t really find the one. Fast forward… was browsing and bumped into the exact specs I was looking for. Contacted Layla and even before I responded to her email, the watch was no longer available online (cause she took the initiative to reserve it for me). I got the watch resized the very next day! It’s 1989 model but looked brand spanking new! Worth every penny! Will do business with them again!
