Manufacturing & Delivery

Made to order in Solothurn, Switzerland

Every Christopher Butendorff watch is made to order and produced in Solothurn, 
Switzerland. From the moment your order is confirmed, production takes approximately 
9 to 12 months.

That timeline is deliberate. Each watch is handmade, assembled, and quality-checked 
in Switzerland, then finished and individually numbered as part of a limited edition. 
Quality control is not a single stage at the end — it runs through every step of 
production in Solothurn.

Every watch goes through the following before it leaves:
- Every component is manually inspected before assembly begins.
- Every watch is assembled by hand.
- The hands are kept running on the movement and dial for 24 to 48 hours before 
  being assembled into the case.
- A full functionality check is carried out, covering timekeeping and any additional 
  functions.
- The assembled watch is inspected under specialist lighting, checking for scratches, 
  marks, and surface imperfections.
- Each watch is tested individually to its specification — 5 ATM for The Timeless 
  (round), 3 ATM for The Modern (square) — using specialist machines.
- After final assembly, a quality control check is carried out on every detail of 
  the finished watch.
- Each watch is individually packed with a final check of all details before it leaves.

When your watch is ready, it ships with a certificate of authenticity and a 24-month 
international warranty covering manufacturing defects.

Returns: Unused watches in original condition and packaging may be returned within 
30 days. Contact info@christopherbutendorff.com before returning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the modular system work?
The watch head, frame, and strap are three separate components. Each connects without 
tools — press to attach, press to release. The system is designed so that any strap 
in the Christopher Butendorff collection fits any watch head of the corresponding 
size: 12 mm straps for 24 mm heads, 20 mm straps for 36 mm and 42 mm heads.

Which strap fits my timepiece?
Compatibility is determined by case size. If your timepiece has a 24 mm case, choose 
any 12 mm strap. If your timepiece has a 36 mm or 42 mm case, choose any 20 mm strap. 
Round and square frames are not interchangeable — match the frame shape to your watch 
head. The Timeless is round; The Modern is square.

What does Swiss Made mean?
Swiss Made is a protected legal designation. For a watch to carry it, the movement 
must be of Swiss origin, the movement must be cased in Switzerland, and the 
manufacturer must carry out final inspection in Switzerland. Every Christopher 
Butendorff timepiece meets these criteria. Each is produced in Solothurn, Switzerland.
