Vintage Watches

Every watch in this collection has passed through the same three-step gate: sourced, restored in our Besançon workshop by a certified watchmaker, and sold with a written guarantee. No dealer middlemen, no cosmetic resales — just vintage watches that have been opened, serviced, and timed before they reach you.

LumeVille specializes in vintage watches from the 1930s to the 1990s: Omega Seamaster and Constellation, Rolex and Tudor sports references, Seiko divers and chronographs, Zodiac, Universal Genève, Zenith, Heuer, IWC, Ulysse Nardin, and Lip. The focus is always the same — original dials, honest cases (no heavy polishing), correct movements for the reference, and full disclosure of every defect.

Every listing details the dial condition, case measurements, movement caliber, bracelet provenance, and the exact work done during restoration. The 6- to 12-month watchmaker's guarantee is issued by Joshua Grillet, the workshop's owner and the person who serviced your watch.
