Frequently Asked Questions
Just how good is Holzkern, really?
Our customers choose Holzkern because they’re looking for individuality and innovation. Accessories that all look the same? There are plenty of those! Instead, Holzkern watches and jewellery are as unique as the people who wear them. We focus on natural materials in unique designs, and you’ll see: your product is a real eye-catcher! High-quality craftsmanship and rigorous quality controls also ensure the highest quality, long-lasting enjoyment, and comfort during everyday use.
What is the quality of the movements?
We use movements from renowned manufacturers, including TMI, Miyota (Citizen), and Epson. These movements have been in use for many years and enjoy an excellent reputation. We offer quartz, automatic, and solar-powered movements, with quartz representing the most modern timekeeping technology. Automatic and solar-powered watches, on the other hand, stand out for their practicality and their special sentimental value. The quality of our movements is consistently high—we rarely receive negative feedback regarding timekeeping accuracy, and any issues that do arise can usually be resolved quickly.
Does a Holzkern watch come with a warranty?
Yes, all of our watches come with a 24-month warranty from the date of purchase. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, such as defects in the movement or manufacturing defects in the case or Strap. Damage caused by improper use, wear and tear, or external factors is excluded. If you’d like to file a warranty claim, you can contact us at any time using our service form.
How does the return process work?
You can return products within 24 days of receipt—the only requirement is that the items be unworn and in their original packaging. You can use our service portal to arrange a return. For Premium Club members, we’re happy to cover the return shipping costs.
Is Holzkern overpriced?
We understand where you’re coming from—inflation affects us all, and you have every right to question costs. But you’ll see: Holzkern watches and jewellery are very different from accessories by other brands, and our distinctive blend of design, nature, and individuality proves its worth to our customers in terms of quality and value. Of course, there are cheaper alternatives, and the choice is entirely yours.
Is the jewellery waterproof?
It’s essential that you familiarize yourself with the materials used in your jewelry. One-of-a-kind pieces made of Stainless steel, (precious) stones, pearls, or Nacre are generally water-resistant, but designs with wooden components are not! However, splashes of water—such as when washing your hands or from raindrops—should never be a problem. To be on the safe side, take off your jewellery when showering, bathing, or swimming. This will help preserve the color, finish, and fit over the long term.
