The concept

In three simple steps.

Heure Libre offers luxury watch rental by subscription in Geneva, and soon across Switzerland: wear an exceptional watch without buying it.

  1. Step 1: Choose your watch

    One plan, the whole selection.

  2. Step 2: Receive your watch

    Inspected and ready to wear.

  3. Step 3: Change whenever the mood takes you

    Return it and choose another. One exchange every two months is included; an extra exchange is possible for a fee.

The plan

By the month, or just for the occasion.

One plan, the whole selection: you choose from all our watches. The longer your subscription lasts, the better value it becomes, and you will be able to share your views on our next watches.

How it works

Simple, from start to finish.

From sign-up to the return of the watch, every step is designed for your peace of mind.

  1. Step 1: Sign-up

    You sign up online, then verify your identity and address: ID document, selfie and proof of address dated within the last 3 months. The service is reserved for adults resident in Switzerland who hold a Swiss ID card or passport, or a foreign ID with a B or C residence permit, and who have a Swiss address and phone number.

  2. Step 2: In-person handover in Geneva

    By appointment, always on presentation of an ID document. Insured delivery across Switzerland coming soon. Using your wrist measurement, we adjust link bracelets before handover.

  3. Step 3: Exchange

    Fancy another model? You choose your next watch, return yours to us, then receive the next one. One exchange every two months is included.

  4. Step 4: End of subscription

    You return the watch; once it has been inspected, your deposit is refunded, less any amounts owed. Subscription terms will be set out at launch.

Wear it with peace of mind.

  • Normal wear included

    Micro-scratches, a few marks on the strap: that is all part of a watch’s life. There is nothing for you to pay.

  • Accidental damage capped

    In the event of an accident, your contribution is capped according to the watch’s plan. Beyond that, Heure Libre takes care of the rest.

  • A condition report at every stage

    At every handover and every return, the watch is photographed from every angle and checked point by point.

Watches in safe hands.

  • Identity and address verified

    ID document, selfie and proof of address dated within the last 3 months at sign-up, as well as a verified Swiss phone number and a subscription paid from a bank account in your name.

  • Handed over to the account holder only

    The watch is handed over only to the account holder, in person in Geneva, on presentation of their ID document.

  • Every watch on record

    The serial number and distinguishing features of every watch are recorded as soon as it arrives.

  • Inspected on every return

    Authenticity, serial number and condition are checked on every return; if there is the slightest doubt, the watch is examined by an independent watchmaker.

  • Boxes and papers kept safe

    The original boxes and papers remain with Heure Libre: the watch is entrusted to you in a Heure Libre box.

  • Reported without exception

    If a watch is not returned, we file a criminal complaint and report it to the registers of lost or stolen watches.

FAQ

Your questions, our answers.

Another question? Message us on WhatsApp or write to contact@heurelibre.ch.

Who can subscribe?

Any adult resident in Switzerland who holds a Swiss ID card or passport, or a foreign ID with a B or C residence permit, and who has a Swiss address and phone number. At sign-up, we verify your identity (ID document and selfie) and your address (proof of address dated within the last 3 months, such as a bill or a bank statement).

Which watches do you offer?

Watches from respected watchmaking houses, carefully selected, in very good condition and inspected before every handover. The catalogue will be revealed at launch.

Can I suggest a watch?

Yes, with pleasure: write to us at contact@heurelibre.ch. Subscribers’ wishes and views will help choose the next arrivals; the final choice depends on the availability of the models.

Can I rent a watch just for an event?

Yes, from launch, with our tailor-made offer: two watches for a wedding or an event, or an exceptional piece for a weekend, a week or two weeks, with in-person handover in Geneva, subject to availability. For a single watch over a longer period, a subscription is the simplest option. A deposit is required for the rental; it is refunded once the watch has been returned and inspected, less any amounts owed.

Will I be able to buy a watch?

Soon: our watches, inspected, will be offered in our boutique.

How does the deposit work?

A deposit is required at the start of your subscription. Kept in a separate account, it is returned to you at the end of your subscription, once the watch has been inspected, less any amounts owed.

How does delivery work?

In-person handover by appointment in Geneva, always on presentation of an ID document. Insured delivery across Switzerland coming soon. Link bracelets are adjusted to your wrist size before handover.

How do I exchange my watch?

You choose your next watch, return yours to us, then receive the next one. One exchange every two months is included. An extra exchange is also possible, for a fee.

What if I scratch or damage the watch?

Normal wear (micro-scratches, a few marks on the strap) is included. In the event of accidental damage, your contribution is capped according to the watch’s plan, for a subscription and a tailor-made rental alike; beyond that, Heure Libre takes care of the rest. This cap does not apply to intentional damage, or if the watch has been lent, entrusted to a third party (watchmaker, jeweller) or had its strap changed.

What happens in the event of theft or loss?

In the event of theft in Switzerland, report it to the police immediately, within 24 hours at the latest (or as soon as possible if you are prevented from doing so through no fault of your own), and send us a copy of the police report: your contribution is then capped, as for accidental damage. Any false declaration will lead to legal action. In the event of loss, you pay the agreed value of the watch, set with you at handover, less your deposit. The watch stays in Switzerland, unless we have agreed to a trip in writing in advance, at no extra cost: in the event of theft or loss abroad, you pay its agreed value, less your deposit.

Do I have to commit?

The terms will be set out at launch. One principle is already settled: the longer your subscription lasts, the better value it becomes.

How much does the subscription cost?

The Signature subscription, from CHF 149 per month: one watch at a time, one exchange every two months included; an extra exchange is possible for a fee. A deposit is required at the start and refunded once the watch has been returned and inspected, less any amounts owed. The longer your subscription lasts, the better value it becomes. Full terms will be published at launch.

How does payment work?

Your subscription is paid each month by QR-bill, from a bank account in your name. A standing order is all it takes: no need to think about it again.

When are you launching?

The launch is planned for 1 February 2027, in Geneva. We will only open once the platform, secure payment and insurance are ready. Leave us your email: we will write to you as soon as we launch.
