Do you have any stockist where it is possible to view your watches?
No, Pinion only retails online. If you are based in the UK then it is possible to arrange an appointment to view the collection in South Oxfordshire, London or the surrounding areas. For online sales we do also offer a simple returns service.
What's the process of ordering a watch?
Simply buy the watch online via our secure website.
- If the watch is in stock, then it will be shipped within 2-3 days.
- If the watch is not in stock, then we will build to order. Simple pay a deposit, we will then contact you with timings for build completion ( normally 2-3 weeks). You’ll then be contacted again when the watch is ready to be shipped and invoiced for the outstanding balance which can also be paid securely via the shop.
How long will it take to receive the watch after ordering it?
The time to ship will depend on:

In all of these cases, we will always email to confirm your order and the estimated shipping date of your watch.
