About us
Welcome to Verre-de-Montre, an online shop specialising in watch crystals. This page explains what we do, what we commit to and how to contact us.
A shop dedicated to watch crystal replacement
Verre-de-Montre is an independent French shop focused on one thing: watch crystals. A scratched, cracked or broken crystal does not mean the end of a watch. Most of the time, you just need the right part, in the right diameter and the right material.
Our job is to help you find that crystal quickly. Our catalogue covers hundreds of diameters, from about 10 to 50 mm, in the three main materials used in watchmaking: mineral, sapphire and acrylic.
We serve both individuals replacing the crystal on their own watch and watchmakers or workshops looking for a precise reference.
Our values & commitments
We want replacing a watch crystal to be simple and affordable. That means accurate product pages, clear guides to measure and choose, and a customer service team that listens.
- Precision: diameter, thickness, shape and material listed for every crystal.
- Transparency: clear information on products, shipping and returns.
- Human customer service: personal answers to your questions about choosing a crystal.
- Fair prices: volume discounts from 3 units of the same crystal.
Our offer & positioning
Verre-de-Montre specialises in replacement watch crystals. Each material meets a different need. Mineral glass offers a good balance between strength and price. Sapphire is the most scratch-resistant. Acrylic (plexi) is fitted on many vintage watches and is easy to polish.
To help you choose, we offer the Find my crystal tool, which lets you search for a crystal by diameter, along with practical guides.
Our catalogue:
- Mineral crystals: flat, domed, domed with base, flat bevelled, flat with rim
- Sapphire crystals: flat, including anti-reflective versions
- Acrylic / plexi crystals: flat, extra-thin, domed, high domes
- Coming soon: crystal gaskets (flat, I-ring, L-ring), bezel inserts and crystal tools (crystal presses, suction cups, gauges and measuring)
- Practical guides: types of watch crystal, measuring with a caliper, polishing a watch crystal, measuring a gasket, replacing a gasket
