The Journal

Every watch is carefully authenticated and inspected, allowing you to make your selection with confidence.

Ante exclusively offers authentic timepieces. Each watch is individually examined by specialists with extensive knowledge of Cartier and other fine watchmakers.

Beyond authentication, we carefully inspect the case, dial, movement, hallmarks and other important details before each watch is presented for sale.

Every vintage watch has followed a different path and arrives with its own individual condition and history.

Before offering a watch for sale, Ante inspects the movement, accuracy, operation and exterior, and carries out the servicing considered necessary for that particular timepiece.

Each watch is provided with an individual warranty period so that it may continue to be enjoyed with confidence after purchase.

• Natural mechanical failures occurring within the warranty period will be inspected and repaired in accordance with Ante’s warranty terms.

Complimentary bracelet sizing is available to ensure your watch fits comfortably from the moment it arrives.

Simply include your wrist measurement in the order notes when placing your order. Each bracelet is carefully adjusted after confirming its condition and construction.

If you prefer a leather strap, we are happy to recommend a suitable option based on the age of the watch, buckle style and lug width.
