Purchasing and maintaining luxury watches like Cartier Or Patek Philippe In Israel, it is required to contact an authorized dealer operating an official service laboratory. Padani Network ) is the exclusive and authorized representative for these brands, and offers a service based on original spare parts, dedicated tools from the manufacturer, and maintaining an international warranty, which ensures the value of the watch as a collector's item and investment over time.

For a watch collector, there is no scarier moment than when a watch stops or takes a hit. The watch on your wrist is not just a time-keeping device; it is a mechanical masterpiece with hundreds of tiny parts working in perfect harmony. But here's something I learned the hard way: A cheap repair at your local watchmaker could cost you the value of the entire watch.

Why is "official service" not a recommendation, but a requirement?

When it comes to high-end brands like Patek Philippe Or Cartier , the manufacturer does not release original spare parts to anyone who is not authorized by it. I have seen collectors who have brought watches to unauthorized laboratories, where they used "compatible" parts or screws that do not exactly match the caliber. The result? The watch loses its certificate of authenticity and its value on the second-hand market.

At the official Padani laboratory , watchmakers undergo training at the brand's factories in Switzerland. They use oils specific to each model and equipment that tests water resistance exactly according to the manufacturer's standard. When you deposit a watch there, you receive official documentation and this is the "10,000 treatment" that preserves the value of your property.

Where to buy luxury watches in Israel?

The Israeli market is flooded with gray market ( Parallel Import) It seems tempting to save a few percent, but the price is heavy:

1. Warranty: A watch purchased outside of the official retailer (Pedani) may encounter difficulties in fulfilling the international warranty.
2. Guaranteed Authenticity: In a world of "super-replica" fakes, the only way to be 100% sure that a watch is original is to buy it from an official boutique.
3. The connection with the brand: For rare Patek Philippe models, for example, you need a "history" of purchases from the authorized dealer to even get on the waiting list.

It's no coincidence that super brands chose Padani. It's a standard of service that begins with the selection of the strap and continues with support for years to come.

• Cartier : The perfect combination between jewelry and watch. Whether it's the Tank The Classic or the Santos The iconic, metal finish and precision of the blue hands require particularly delicate care.
• Patek Philippe : This is the highest level of horology. Such a watch is not "repaired", but preserved for the next generation.

Tip for collectors: Don't wait for a malfunction

A mechanical watch needs service . ) Every 5-7 years, even if it works perfectly. The oils inside dry out, and the silicone seals that prevent water from entering wear out. Periodic treatment at a certified laboratory in Tel Aviv will prevent wear of the gears and save you thousands of shekels in complex repairs in the future.

Bottom line: A luxury watch is not a consumer product, it is a heritage. Make sure the hands that touch it are authorized by the people who built it in Switzerland.
