About US
Let's Talk about BUSINESS
My Private Jeweler is a family-owned and operated business dedicated to offering Swiss-made luxury authentic watches at unbeatable prices. Unlike most online watch retailers you may encounter, My Private Jeweler started in the industry as an authorized dealer of watches and jewelry. The family business, known as McPherson Jewelers, had been family owned and operated since 1979. Wanting the business to grow and expand its southern California base to an international scale, a bold decision was made to venture into the online marketplace. In this day and age, what better way is there to serve a larger proximity of clientele than by transforming to an online business? And so, the still family-owned and operated business was re-branded as My Private Jeweler . Key to continuing the success of the business has been serving online clients the way they were served at McPherson Jewelers - like family. The biggest benefit our company has found from the retail to web-based transformation has been the ability to mark prices at more accessible rates to please our clients. By ordering items in mass volume, we are awarded heavy discounts, which we pass along to our clients. Strictly specializing in Swiss timepieces, we are capable of offering even more competitive prices. Rather than selling our pieces with high markups, we prefer to be humble with our margins so that our clients can reap the benefits of online shopping. Rest assured, our timepieces are of the best quality, brand new, and most importantly - 100% authentic. My Private Jeweler will only sell products that we would enjoy owning ourselves. Don't hesitate to call if you have any questions about who we are or what we do -

Authenticity & Service Guarantee
We make continuous efforts to provide outstanding service coupled with the lowest prices online. We value our clients and strive to offer the highest quality of customer service at every opportunity.
All watches sold by My Private Jeweler® will have the original manufacturer serial number intact. All watches sold by My Private Jeweler® are guaranteed to be original & 100% authentic.
All orders placed on My Private Jeweler® will come with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by My Private Jeweler®. This certificate, with an authorized signature from My Private Jeweler, will confirm that the watch purchased is guaranteed to be authentic. We do not provide serial numbers at any time. The serial number will be on your product purchased. My Private Jeweler® does not sell products in accordance to manufacturer suggested retail pricing, therefore, the warranty of merchantability provided is directly through My Private Jeweler.
In most cases, we match or exceed the term of warranty provided by the timepiece manufacturer. We often offer one extra year of warranty in comparison with that of the manufacturer. It is just one more opportunity to go the extra mile and ensure you have an excellent experience.
Complimentary bracelet sizing is offered at the time of purchase on all timepieces. Please provide us with your wrist circumference in the comments box when placing your order. Free sizing entails the removal of links to fit the wrist circumference provided. Any links that are removed will be included in the package, however, no additional links will be provided if none are removed. Additional links are available for most timepieces at an extra charge. The free bracelet sizing does not guarantee a perfect fit; it is an estimated measurement, and we are not responsible for any readjustment fees. Sizing requests may delay shipment by up to one business day.
Photographs on our website are stock photos and are not pictures of the actual item that will be shipped. We do not provide photos of the actual items. The actual item shipped may have a slight variation from the picture displayed on our website. All sizing specified on our website is approximate and follows the sizes advertised by the manufacturers who produce the products.

On exchanges the item will be reserved at the posted price for 5 days; afterward, the posted price and delivery time frame will apply. Please ship back your item promptly as it must be back in our possession within 30 days. Please report any imperfections or discrepancies within 24 hours of receipt and have the watch returned to us within 7 calendar days of receipt. If our offer to rectify an imperfection or discrepancy is refused and a refund is requested, our standard return policy will apply. Any exchanges after the first one will incur a 10% restocking fee. Requesting a refund after performing an exchange will result in a 20% restocking fee (minimum $100). Installed watch links are not returnable. If we are not able to obtain an item that you would like to exchange for, the restocking fee will apply if a refund is requested. All refunds will be processed in the same manner as payment form except for bank wire transfers which will be refunded by ACH; partial refunds in this manner will incur a $25 processing fee. We are unable to refund payments that are over a year old or made by any form of gift card, and can only offer store credit. There will be an additional $20 fee for returning a sized watch, either for a refund or exchange. A replacement watch will not be shipped until the original watch is received. Returns will be processed within 3-5 business days of receipt of the returned watch. We do not have a price protection guarantee. If we lower a price after an order is placed, we reserve the right not to refund the difference between the purchase price and the current advertised price. Once an order is placed, our return policy takes full force. The restocking fee applies to all cancelled orders whether it has been shipped or not. All cancelled orders will incur a minimum cancellation fee of $25. All special orders cancelled within the original time frame advertised on our website at the time of purchase will incur a minimum 10% cancellation fee (minimum $100) or deposit amount whichever is greater. Items priced over $10,000 will incur a minimum 20% cancellation fee. All cancelled orders in which the item has been reserved for the customer will incur a 10% cancellation fee. Special Order items cannot be returned for refund or exchange (including but not limited to any watch that we do not have in stock at the time the order is placed). Any customized items, or items ordered with a modification request (e.g. a watch on a customized strap), are subject to a minimum restocking fee of 10%. Balance on special orders must be paid within 48 hours of watch arrival notice for the deposit to not be forfeited.
Items must be returned UNWORN, unaltered, in their original, unused condition, in their original boxes, and with all paperwork (this includes warranties), parts, and accessories to insure any credit. “New and unused” means that there are no scratches, marks, or blemishes on the item; tags and protective stickers have not been removed; there are no signs of wear on the product or the case; and the product must not have been sized or altered in any way. Note that dings and scratches will happen even if a watch has only been worn for a few hours. We cannot accept a return of any item with any indication that it has been used if a full refund is expected (before restocking fees and/or shipping fees). Any used or altered timepiece will be refunded an amount equal to what we consider to be its current value with a minimum restocking fee of 20% (minimum $100).
All items being returned or exchanged must have an RMA number. Please request a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number by phone prior to returning the item. Any item returned without an RMA number will not be accepted and sent back at the buyers’ expense. RMA numbers expire 5 business days after being issued.
All returned items must be shipped to us via USPS REGISTERED MAIL along with a completed RMA form. Sender is responsible for fully insuring the package. We are NOT responsible for packages lost in transit, and therefore, require packages to be sent insured, so if a package is lost, your investment is protected. FedEx® and UPS® DO NOT insure watches or jewelry, thus we require any package being returned to be sent via USPS REGISTERED MAIL.
Any inbound packages or parcels which have clear evidence of damage or tampering, to the extent of which, at our sole discretion, it is deemed that the contents may be compromised and/or missing, will be refused.
* Please Note: Purchases made by any watch manufacturer, watch brand distributor or any person acting on behalf of any of these entities in any manner are NOT returnable for any reason. Neither are any wholesale or promotional purchases.
Warranty Protection Advantage
All timepieces sold by My Private Jeweler® will be warranted by the My Private Jeweler limited warranty of merchantability. The warranty provided is for the term advertised for each individual item at the time of sale while we hold full payment. My Private Jeweler will, within the warranty term, repair the movement of the timepiece free of charge if such movement proves to be defective in material or workmanship under normal use. My Private Jeweler will replace the battery of any battery-operated timepiece purchased from My Private Jeweler. free of charge for the duration of ownership of the original purchaser. To begin a warranty claim, the timepiece must be in our possession prior to the warranty expiration date and be accompanied by a completed RMA form regardless of the date the malfunction/defect occurred or was reported. The warranty does not cover damages caused by, but not limited to: impacts, vibrations, magnetic fields, moisture infiltration, water damage, or batteries; nor does it cover straps, bracelets, bezels, buckles, pins, finishes, cases, dials, hands, crowns/crown assemblies, buttons or crystals. The warranty does not cover overhauls, movement maintenance, scratches, accidents, misuse, or shipping fees. Any repair, service, or modification will render the warranty null and void. Mechanical (automatic and manual winding) and Quartz (battery-operated) watches will require an overhaul if not keeping time within predefined parameters. Calibration of watches prior to the requirement of an overhaul may be required on some timepieces. Standard and Silver warranties are transferable via ownership transfer for a $49 fee. Lifetime warranties (Gold & Platinum) are non-transferable and will be downgraded to a standard warranty from the original purchase date upon ownership transfer. Gifts must be specified at the time of purchase so that the warranty card can reflect the correct name of the gift recipient. Warranty service will not be performed without a valid warranty card. My Private Jeweler will not be held responsible for any items left in our possession for over one year. We will reimburse the buyer for the equivalent of ground shipping costs, for up to $15 as priced at www.usps.com, in the event the timepiece proves to be defective within one month of purchase. We do not reimburse for any convenience fees or charges on work performed by parties other than My Private Jeweler. Any timepiece purchased from My Private Jeweler can be sent to us for service after expiration of the term of the warranty, and an estimate for required service(s) will be provided to the client. Extended warranties may be purchased on most watches. Warranty extensions are not refundable.

Price Match Guarantee
We at My Private Jeweler guarantee the lowest prices available online. If you find any watch for a lower price on another website, simply call us and we will ensure proper price matching. All price match inquiries must be made prior to placing an order. We are unable to price match after an order is placed. Price matching is not applicable on exchanges. Combined with our reputation and prices, My Private Jeweler is truly the last stop for your next watch purchase. Items offered by competing websites must have the same warranty, shipping, and return policies. This policy applies to items which are listed as “In Stock” on our website, and offered by a legitimate and established US-based watch website who currently has the identical item in stock (i.e. can ship same day) with the correct, current retail price listed. Price match requests cannot be accommodated if the competing website is located in the same state as the customer’s billing or shipping address. This offer only applies to a competing website’s regular pricing, and does not apply to temporary or promotional pricing. This offer cannot be combined with any other offers, discounts, or credits.
