However, when you visit our Define Watches online boutique you can be assured you are dealing with the genuine article. Define Watches is the authorised dealer/agent for every brand we represent and we really couldn’t have become the market leader by selling sub-standard or counterfeit goods.

Over the years we’ve built up an excellent reputation through hard work, strict quality standards and dedicated customer service. We purchase and import all of our products straight from the manufacturers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and the watchmakers are known to us personally. Thanks to these personal relationships we are able to bring you some of the best independent watch brands in the horological industry.

If you prefer more traditional shopping, to complement our web boutique, we also have a high street store in Noosa, on Australia’s stunning Sunshine Coast where complete watch collections are on display and constantly updated with new releases to spoil you for choice.

All the watches we sell come with a minimum 2-year warranty and warranty and service works are conducted in our own Australian Service Centre thus giving you further peace of mind that your watch is dealt with on-shore under international manufacturers warranty to the according standards.

We endeavour to hold stock of every series watch on our website at any one time, so whatever you choose can usually be sent out straight away via overnight courier so you can wear it and enjoy it asap.  For items temporarily out of stock, orders can usually be filled within 2-3 weeks.  In the case of special or bespoke orders we work with you in collaboration with the watchmaker to ensure the project stays on track to deliver your dream watch in good time.

Each year we visit various watch fairs including the Baselworld Watch and Jewellery fair and we tour extensively throughout Germany, Austria and Switzerland sourcing exciting new brands and products to bring to you and add to our ever-changing catalogue.
