I heard. Just picked up my fiftysix blue dial in bracelet today. Good to know I can get up to 8 years warranty!

uniqueMR · 14 January 2022, 02:37 PM

Bravo!!

shaunylw · 14 January 2022, 02:57 PM

Wow, that’s quite an update.

WatchEater666 · 14 January 2022, 03:00 PM

Wow. Now maybe Lange is next.

PBJ1925 · 14 January 2022, 03:53 PM

Amazing news! Would've been great if they would've fixed their website prior to the news. (Hour Club). It's bad, even worse than APs registration site.

ButtButt · 14 January 2022, 06:54 PM

I was at the boutique yesterday and the sales lady told me the same thing, awesome news.

RobHK · 14 January 2022, 06:58 PM

2 year felt very cheap somehow, not worthy of such a luxury brand. but I didn't put much weight on it. 8 years is really a statement!

Does it mean if I dont service my watch for the first 7 years and I start to have problems it falls under warranty to fix it? Basically is VC saying all their watches can go 8 years without service?

sgrossma · 14 January 2022, 10:17 PM

That is absolutely huge news! I had only 1 month left on the warranty!

enjoythemusic · 14 January 2022, 11:25 PM

Bravo VC!!! Imho ALL brands claiming high quality must go to a five-year warranty minimum, with eight years for the truly top brands. Any brand only offering a mere two-year warranty should be suspect due to their apparent lack of after-sales customer care [and/or they don't trust the reliability of their own products(!)].

RaZCaL · 14 January 2022, 11:25 PM

Excellent!

brandrea · 14 January 2022, 11:36 PM

The new norm perhaps …. Congratulations VC

Mbbgysam · 15 January 2022, 02:08 AM

Great news!!

JayHantz · 15 January 2022, 02:24 AM

This is great and I think an awesome move - I know they are one of the few who have kept the two year. Nicely done, VC - will be registering my 1921 shortly!

Patek_collector · 15 January 2022, 02:38 AM

anyone knows how to do the extension? their web site seems not working!

raclaims · 15 January 2022, 02:42 AM

Seems it would be so much simpler and more appreciated by collectors to just announce an extension to all warranty’s to 8 years from date of original sale or manufacture

To have to dig out boxes and go online and register seems unnecessary

Love the 8 years btw but these things are made so well seems 8 years is a piece of cake

GB-man · 15 January 2022, 03:25 AM

So no does is there a cutoff in terms of purchase date or stipulation that you’re the original purchaser to do so?

raclaims · 15 January 2022, 03:27 AM

has to have been purchased in the last 2 years I believe

trackingtime · 15 January 2022, 03:30 AM

nice! registered my dual time!

That’s a great watch! I thought they were discontinued on bracelet?

Everyone must be hitting the site I've been trying for 2 hours to get it to work

JodyHighroller · 15 January 2022, 06:26 AM

It was only a matter of time given Richemont’s other brands already have the eight year warranty.

JLC was the first of their bunch to roll out the new warranty.

Justindo · 15 January 2022, 01:15 PM

That's excellent news! My most recent VC qualifies for the extended warranty, so I'm quite happy. That written, I don't expect to use it, as I've only had issues with watches under $1k (Hamilton and Stowa in my case). Is Lange next?

cramsey · 15 January 2022, 01:17 PM

Im having a problem with the website also.

Giangos · 15 January 2022, 04:07 PM

It’s a great move, the boutique advised me this morning, they tried to do it for me prior but it wouldn’t work.

I tried myself, The registration process is a pain in the bum. I will try again tomorrow, maybe it’s the website as others have said. Failing that, I will take my details in and let them do it in store. Good excuse to go and see their pieces again

IWC started first, may be other brands within Richemont will follow. So totally crossing fingers for Lange as it is also in Richemont.

DoraTheExplorerII · 15 January 2022, 05:01 PM

Hope Swatch group follows too.

Bug04 · 15 January 2022, 06:30 PM

Wow that’s a very important move from VC. Great seriousness.
But does it indirectly implies that watches do not need service for at least 8 years, conversely from the 4-5 years commonly mentioned by many maisons?

nhoangtam · 16 January 2022, 12:18 AM

Does anyone have luck trying to extend the warranty? I have tried the last 2 days without any luck. It just keeps loading.
