Not sure globally, but i think it is overhyped a few years ago, now the interest in FM is rather lukewarm, and they had some financial troubles during the asian crisis period.
Heard from some dealers that asian buyers of FM now mainly from China.

1997-1998 time?
The china slow down is hurting a number of brands. Exports for many brands fell like 20%.

Watch looks big on the wrist shot, but not so in real life... It's only 38.8mm

very nice watch... clean, simple and elegant.

Collectors Time

they've been quite long in the business - as far as I can remember at least a decade? very good prices and you gotta act fast or the piece can be sold quite fast. Missed their chronoswiss opus TWICE.

Looking at some of the online stores, it's sure cheaper getting from them but is it risky transferring such huge amount of $$$ to them ?

Those swiss brand watches buy online is it under international warranty ?

Thanks.

So long as it is dated (most important for any brand), yes it should be covered.

Bought a couple of watches from them, so far so good. I always recommend them to my relatives and frens.

U can so go to their physical shop in KL; i dont think that is any safer. I have asked ard before in other watch forums and everyone said they are good.

There's always risk for online or grey dealers, but you mitigate by looking for those with good reviews, just like eBay power sellers.
Bought a couple of watches from them, no issues, the recent one I drove up to KL(as I happened to be in malacca) to deal direct... Don is a friendly guy :)

With the warranty cards, you should be safe

Their goods from all over, not necessarily Europe.
In places where there is weak demand for certain watches, you can get good discounts esp if you buy in bulk.
