Frequently Asked Questions

Can I inspect the item before paying the courier?

Yes. For Cash on Delivery orders in Dubai, our private courier allows you to inspect the outer packaging and presentation before completing payment.

What happens if a watch develops an unexpected mechanical issue after 48 hours?

While the cosmetic return window is 48 hours, all Luxaria horology pieces are backed by our complimentary 1-Year Atelier Mechanical Warranty covering movement regulation and internal components.

Can I bring my return in person to the Dubai showroom?

Yes. You may schedule a private appointment at our Downtown Dubai or DIFC atelier suite to hand over the piece and select an immediate alternative piece in person.

Are custom bespoke commissions returnable?

Made-to-order pieces customized with personalized engraving or custom-tanned exotic leathers are final sale, but covered under our fit, finish, and mechanical warranty.
