This was the "permanent warranty" service that Cartier offered as part of its services from 1978 until the mid-1980s.
This is the best service, including complete service (overhaul) and technical labor charges free for life.
However, there are certain conditions and you must present a lifetime warranty.
In other words, if you lose the lifetime warranty, you will not be able to receive this service and will have to pay for the regular repair.
In addition, exterior parts are not covered by the warranty and there is a fee for parts.
If the internal breakdown is caused by external factors (such as water damage or impact), the service will continue after a paid repair.
Not everything is free.
This goes without saying, but if you use it normally, it is unlikely that you will have to pay for repairs.
However, compared to a few years ago, the price of the product has been increasing steadily,
In addition, repair costs have been rising,
Parts prices may be higher than ever.
The current basic fee for a complete service (mechanical) is 78,100 yen.
The cost of parts is ¥43,780 for the dial and ¥8,800 for the crown (excluding solid gold material).
(As of April 2025)
As a result, the main repair work, a complete service every five years, which Cartier recommends, will be increased in price.
Having a lifetime warranty means repairs are free, which is a huge benefit.
With a lifetime warranty, not only will you avoid the repair costs of nearly 80,000 yen,
Even if the user changes, if you present the watch with the lifetime warranty,
You can receive services without any changes to the conditions.
This is the best service you can imagine right now.
Vintage watches have also been rising in price, making them a little difficult to buy recently,
Items with a lifetime warranty have a value that cannot be measured by price alone.
When purchasing a product, it will be slightly more expensive than one without a lifetime warranty,
In fact, it is worth much more than that.
No matter where you buy a watch, it will always need to be repaired.
There's no reason not to choose the best item that comes with free repairs.
If you have any problems after your purchase, we will be happy to assist you.
Please consider it!
