Note: All of our watches are built and shipped from the UK, and so are subject to a tariff of 10% on shipments to the USA. We pay this tariff as we ship, so US customers won’t receive any unexpected fees on delivery. In other words, the price you see and pay at checkout is the price you pay for the watch, nothing more.
