With us being family, we share a unique bond that compliments our shared experience both in work and our passions. We opened our beautiful Farnborough HQ in August 2022 for appointment-only viewings & a place for our customers to meet us, talk watches, and see what we have in stock.

Breitling navitimer

I bought a Breitling navitimer from mainspring which due to its vintage nature wasn’t quite the watch for me. Returned it with no drama or fuss. The whole process was excellent from start to finish. Great communication and hopefully be able to buy something from them in future.

One of the finest watch retailers I have traded with in 40 years as a collector.

I have been collecting, buying and selling wrist watches for some 40 years and in all that time I can honestly this is the best seller/retailer I have traded with and by some margin. Tristan is a real professional, very friendly and knowledge and even went to the trouble of replying to emails in the evening. Very highly recommended and an absolute pleasure to trade and purchase from. You really can not go wrong. Thank you guys and all the best for the future.

What a truly professional company

What a truly professional company - Although I did not purchase a watch in the end, the team answered all my questions quickly and were extremely helpful. Should the opportunity present itself to look at other watches of interest, I would not hesitate to reach out to them again.

Brietling super ocean

Tristan was great to deal with, and very knowledgeable I got a text confirmation on receipt of my watch as soon as it arrived and confirmation that everything was in order just a few hours after that.
The price I was paid was significantly higher than the other offers which I received. Money was paid into my account the same day.
Would defo use again.

Old school customer skills

Old school customer skills, depth of knowledge and a genuine passion for their subject is reassuringly alive and well with the chaps at Mainspring. Initial phone and Email communications were always polite and patient and then at their office there was no hard sell, just well balanced and relevant information on the watches of interest to help me make my own decision.

What other people say is true!

Rather than repeat all the positive comments already said, I'll say that I'm very pleased with the speedy and friendly service from Mainspring UK: Tristan and the team.
I px'd a Breitling watch for their Breitling watch so quickly that it put other much larger watch companies to shame. Tristan's phone manner is instantly reassuring: he's knows his stuff and is a true watch geek! Just like me, I have to add.

My "new" Breitling is quite a cool looking piece and I'm sure I'll be wearing it a lot. I'm also looking forward to doing more business with these guys, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience!

Tristan and Jay are simply fantastic, genuine guys who take pride in what they do. Great communication, extremely helpful and professional. The whole process from the first contact to our meeting at their beautiful Farnborough office was pleasant and easy. If I want another watch in the future I will definitely go back to them!

Buy With Confidence - Excellent Return Handling

Tristan and Jay are very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I ordered a Breitling Navitimer which when received had an issue with the slide rule bezel. When I reported the issue to Tristan after working hours on the day I received the watch, he was immediately in touch, offering advice, confirming a return was acceptable, and even covering the postage costs for the Royal Mail Special delivery.
I'm sure the vast majority of watch purchases will be successful with Tristan and Jay, this review is to provide confidence that in those rare scenarios where something doesn't work out, the Mainspring team will resolve any issues rapidly and effectively.

Outstanding service, highly recommended

Tristan really does know his trade and not only did I get a very good price on my Omega but he went the extra mile to give me very sage advice on my future purchase knowing full well he would not benefit from doing so. I am delighted with the service, prompt response and excellent advice from this talented individual.

Tristan Mainspring SUPERB

Met up with Tristan today , I was apprehensive about doing business via chrono hunter and leaving my pride and joy with someone is just met but all I can say is Tristan was the epitomy of professionalism and understood my concerns , he was happy to chat and put no pressure on me whatsoever , he was quick to assess my watch ( Tudor back bay s and g ) and funds via chrono hunter appeared in my account much earlier than expected , I cannot recommend Tristan highly enough and will make sure to tell my friends even if he does drive a BMW and doesn’t use the indicators

Kind regards

John
