Cresus, which has six boutiques in France and Luxembourg (Paris, Lyon, Cannes, Aix-en-Provence and Luxembourg), as well as an online boutique and a blog for watch enthusiasts, offers its customers exceptional luxury watches and jewelry awaiting new owners. This luxury recycling gives new life to timeless and eternal objects.
Cresus was a pioneer in this comeback of mechanical watchmaking, which had been shunned from the 70s onwards in the face of the advent of the quartz watch. At that time, in order to stay afloat, watchmakers opted for more luxurious production of exceptional timepieces.

Today, Cresus wants to continue to believe in mechanical watchmaking by making it available to as many people as possible. Whether it’s vintage watches from the 60s and 70s, or modern timepieces that are no more than a few years old, collectors and enthusiasts are demanding mechanical watches that are still in circulation or that can’t be found anywhere else but on the second-hand market.

Cresus makes available pre-owned watches and jewelry, and offers its expertise in watchmaking and jewelry to be at the forefront of product quality and authenticity. Cresus offers affordable luxury, which is perfectly in line with today’s trend; indeed, consumers are often looking for a beautiful, quality object, while at the same time getting a good bargain.
Authenticity, expertise and advice – these are what a buyer wants. Authenticity, because you need to be aware of the fake luxury watches on the market, and know where to go to obtain the assurance of a real watch by means of a certificate. Know-how, because these luxury watches need special attention when it comes to repair and maintenance. And finally, responsiveness, because buyers need a site that can provide them with the information they need in their search for the perfect watch, as well as after-sales follow-up, enabling them to maintain their watch. Luxury watches also represent a lasting investment, just like gold or real estate. Cresus can also advise you on buying and reselling your luxury watches, so that you know what the market is like.

Its clear objective is to make the great luxury brands accessible by offering reduced prices, and above all, a guarantee of the authenticity of the objects through the expertise of the team.
As Christian Odin says, “Customers are not giving up on luxury, but adapting their purchasing behavior. Cresus is a concept that is perceived as a smart purchase, a modern bargain!”
Completely in tune with the private sales trend and consumer expectations, Cresus offers quality items with certified origins, making it the best way to treat yourself to a luxury watch or piece of jewelry. It’s also the perfect opportunity to delight your nearest and dearest this holiday season!
