Guides to choosing, measuring and replacing your watch crystal, crystal gaskets and polishing, plus practical info: shipping, returns, FAQ.

This page brings together our guides to choosing, measuring and replacing your watch crystal, along with practical information about Verre-de-Montre: shipping, returns and frequently asked questions.

Choosing the right watch crystal

The right crystal is chosen first by its diameter, measured to a tenth of a millimetre, then by its material (mineral, sapphire or acrylic), its shape (flat, domed, domed with base, bevelled, with rim) and its thickness. Our guides explain how to take these measurements with calipers, how to measure and replace the crystal gasket, and how to restore a scratched acrylic crystal. The Find my crystal tool then shows you the crystals available in your diameter.
