"At Mainspring, I don’t just sell watches — I match people with stories they want to wear."

Watches are my passion, my hobby.

However, to keep my passion alive, to extend my collection, to buy new watches, and to fund the maintenance of them, I am using my own collection as a source. 
And by the time, somehow it turned into a business as well.

When it comes to buying a watch, I am like you, asking, asking, asking, checking all the details, all the parts, cross-checking, verifying, negotiating, and besides all searching the story, the character behind it, and then deciding to buy. 

I have limited but very trustable suppliers and experienced collectors sourcing my watches from. 
Besides my own inspection experience, I also do not forget to get warranty from my suppliers.
That is how I give authenticity warranty to all my watches, and also  three months warranty to their movements. 

So on the behalf of you, I ensure that the watch I (so you ) buy is a correct watch. That is why I call myself "your personal watch collector". :)
