Payment and delivery
On our website, payment is made by credit card, via a secure payment platform.
You can also pay for your order in 3 installments (with fees) via the Alma platform.
In store, you can only pay by credit card or cash.
On the payment page, select "Pay in installments with Alma." You will then be redirected to a payment page where you will need to enter your bank details as for a standard payment. There, you will find a summary of your upcoming payments. You will then receive a summary email with the schedule of your payments, followed by a reminder email 3 days before each payment.
Alma systematically performs a 3D Secure verification to confirm that you are the owner of the card used. Your bank will then send you a confirmation SMS or a push notification in your banking app, to confirm that you initiated this transaction and that it is not fraudulent.

Warranty and after-sales service
Are you having a problem with your watch? Whether it's still under warranty (2 years) or not, we can repair it in our workshop. To do this, you can come directly to our Paris boutique to drop off the watch or send it to us by mail.
The procedure is detailed here .
Typically, repair times take two to three weeks , but this will depend on the time of year and the repairs required.
We cannot provide updates during the repair process but you will be notified by email as soon as your watch is repaired!
Violent shocks : In addition to aesthetic deterioration, premature wear of materials and components can affect the proper functioning of your watch's mechanism.
Extreme temperatures : We recommend that you do not expose your watch to extreme temperatures (above 50°C or below 0°C) or sudden temperature changes that could cause fogging under the glass. This usually disappears quickly and does not affect the performance of your watch. If this persists, contact our customer service at bonjour@charlie-paris.com .
Water : If your watch is water-resistant (10 ATM or more), you can swim with it, making sure the crown is properly engaged or screwed down. It is strongly recommended not to expose your watch to hot water sources (bath, shower, etc.) because heat expands the metals and crushes the seals.
Our bracelets are not under warranty and their lifespan can vary from several months to several years, depending on the type of bracelet and your use.
Water, perspiration, sun, and chemicals/cosmetics are all things that can affect the appearance of your bracelet.
In summer, or for any sporting and/or aquatic activity, we recommend opting for a nylon or steel strap. Leather could become stained and deteriorate prematurely.
