Great looking watch, well priced, beautifully presented. Lasted less than 3 years, crown fell out, can no longer set the date and time, not worth the price of the repair - also on second strap, as the... See more

Paid for watch in late May. No sign of it. No response to very many emails, phone calls and even 2 handwritten letters. The website still solicits custom. Maybe James Horner should establish a... See more

Exceptionally beautiful watch face & crystal. Comfortable to wear, a joy to look at. The movement runs about +10 seconds per day, so i recalibrate it every two days or so. This is a delightful watch... See more

Watch it!!!

The watch stopped working just after I got it. I have repeatedly emailed and even phoned but still no response. So over to you James and I look forward to hearing from you so I can then write a more positive review. Ian

Broken Watch no Customer Service

Awful customer service and broken watch.

I bought a watch from Tapferkeit over a year ago (April 7th 2023), that was faulty. The watch worked for a couple of week then stopped altogether.

I contacted the customer service who replied sporadically but did not offer any real assistance. After a couple of months I asked to use the warranty to get a replacement or refund.

Despite sending all evidence and receipts (and the watch being in perfect aesthetic condition - no scratches), I have received no information or anything from them.

Massively disappointing as the watch looks great. I would recommend avoiding buying from Tapferkeit.

Still waiting to hear from them.

Wrong watch

Wrong watch, wrong colour, wrong strap. No response from customer service when I emailed (twice), so we've just put up with it, as my husband says it's a nice product, even though the item received was cheaper than the one I paid for, and there's no guarantee if we returned it, if we would receive the correct item. The delivery took 4 weeks to arrive from ordering - I had given up on receiving it. The only contact I've received is to give a review so unfortunately this is my experience. Very mixed.

Do not engage with this seller

Do not engage with this seller. I purchased a watch late February/early March 2024. Still not received. Seller refuses to refund my purchase. Claims it's tied up with Customs and it's not their fault. Now will not respond. I figure I've lost my money. No phone number listed for the seller. A complete scam.

Excellent watch

Excellent watch. Slight delay in receiving it and some initial communication issues - hence 4 rather than 5 stars, but overall a good experience.

Stay away

I bought a watch there a couple of years ago and it was fine. Now it seems that the shop has been abandoned - I’ve made a new order a month ago and it hasn’t been shipped, the support doesn’t respond at all. Stay away.

Just what I wanted!

Just what I wanted!! Purchased the Furchlos in blue and the Chrono in white. Keep good time and both get compliments!! Quick shipping, even through customs. Very satisfied with this purchase.

customer support never answered

I purchased two watches, both of which malfunctioned within the warranty period. Despite my efforts to contact customer support with a claim, I have not received any response. It has now been six months without any acknowledgment or resolution from their side.

AWFUL customer service …

Since purchasing my watch and spare strap, I have written to you three times reporting a fault with the Milanese strap. I have also responded to this survey at least once before this one. However, I have yet to receive an acknowledgment of my problem let alone have it rectified. Awful customer service — just awful.

Bought the watch 9/2023

Bought the watch 9/2023. Worked great, looks great. 4 months later stopped working - did not hit it on anything, made sure the pin was in all the way, wound properly. I would recommend the watch if nothing ever happens to it during its warranty period. However, with any problems, no one will get back to you as I have sent 3 messages via email and through the website. Basically, you're on your own after you get your watch.

Operating like scammers

I ordered a new watch band over four months ago now and have yet to receive it. Any attempts at contacting the company for refunds have been met with no response. I loved the style of this company’s watches, but there’s absolutely no way I would continue to support them after this experience.

Faulty watch, no help or support

The first time I went to wear the watch after delivery I found that the second hand was loose, no longer connected to the mechanism. The watch has never been worn. I have contacted Tapferkeit using their Contact Us page and direct emails several times since December and have not received any response.

It took a very long time for my order…

It took a very long time for my order to be processed. Only after repeatedly emailing about this was the order shipped. The clasp of my previous Milano strap stopped closing within a few months of purchasing the watch, causing the watch to fall off my wrist. I'm curious whether the new strap will last longer. I have not yet seen any improvement in the closure of my new strap. The watch is beautiful by the way. That makes the problem so annoying because I think it could easily be solved with a smarter closure.

0 response, watches came too late and wrong item

Ordered watches came too late (approx. 1 month after the order has been placed), needed to escalate several times. The package came finally with incorrect milano straps. Escalated 2 times to Tapferkeit.com but no reaction on my request to replace the straps. Definitely not recommend to make a purchase.

The watch is good

The watch is good, although the readability of the dial should be a little better compared to the very fine hands
