OUR STORY

In a watch movement, the energy held within the spring barrel is transmitted through the gear train to the escapement.
However, with some watches, as the mainspring relaxes, the force supplied to the escapement diminishes, impairing accuracy. A Remontoire: a device that ensures a consistent supply of force to the escapement, not only augments precision but also enhances the longevity of the watch, making it a valuable investment for customers.

The notion of consistency resonates with Stephen Lee and Lisa Lee, the founders of Remontoire ’68 Limited. This small husband-and-wife team offers consistently high levels of customer service. Moreover, this specialist firm recognises the importance of offering interesting commercial products.

Consumers are increasingly well-informed about luxury watches and haute horlogerie. Specialist watch blogs and Youtube publications impart vast amounts of technical information and feature high-end watch brands, some rarely seen on the UK’s high street. Stephen and Lisa have sought to bring new, exciting luxury marques to the UK, such as Rudis Slyva, Mauron Musy and Lang & Heyne, that provide a point of difference for its retail partners.

Remontoire ’68 Limited is eager to establish strong, collaborative partnerships with a select group of retail partners. The company firmly believes that such collaborations can lead to significant mutual benefits, fostering a relationship built on respect, trust, and a shared understanding of the importance of professional retailers in the luxury watch industry.

Stephen and Lisa are thrilled about the prospect of working with you, and they firmly believe that together, they can create something truly exceptional in the luxury watch market.

Remontoire believes that by collaborating with retailers, both parties can enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship. Furthermore, Remontoire '68 Limited believes that this relationship should be based on mutual respect, trust, and an appreciation for the fact that the luxury industry requires professional retailers.
