One of the things which makes us particularly proud of the brand we’ve been able to build here at Banks Lyon is the relationship that we’ve been able to build with some of the most prestigious watchmakers in the world; incredibly desirable companies such as Chopard, Omega, Cartier and Breitling – as well as many others – have all given us their exclusive seal of approval by agreeing to make us authorised stockists.
If you’ve spent some time on the website, or perhaps even visited us at our Lancaster store, then you might already be aware of this special relationship. At the same time, you may be wondering exactly what it means for you as a customer: why should you buy from an authorised stockist?
Shop Variety
An unauthorised dealer may be happy to sell you a watch that you’re interested in – but do they actually have access to it? If it isn’t there on the shop floor, and you can’t be sure that the person you’re speaking to has a good relationship with the manufacturers, then we recommend exercising extreme caution before parting with your money.
If you visit the Banks Lyon store, on the other hand, you can always be sure of finding some of the latest releases and even limited edition items available for you to inspect, admire and perhaps even take away with you.
Assured Authenticity
When you come to an authorised stockist you can also feel 100% confident that you aren’t looking at an item which has been stolen or counterfeited. Companies such as Cartier and Omega would never consider endorsing somebody who they feel might damage their reputation through association, so an authorised seller has been checked and approved.
This is very important when it comes to your warranty, as it goes without saying that a watch that isn’t actually the official item you think it is also won’t have the official warranty that you may need. Every watch sold by us has at least 2 years of warranty from the manufacturer.
A Better Shopping Experience
Once you step inside our store you find yourself in a world which encapsulates exactly what you love about each of these major watch brands, and that’s because we were able to talk to representatives and use their input to create a store which reflects their respective personalities.
For you as the customer, this means a much more comfortable shopping experience in which you can feel sure of finding those beautiful items that you’re looking for. This same input is equally invaluable when it comes to actually stocking our stores, as we can have a proper conversation with a company to ensure that we are providing the stock that they are expecting to be the most popular.
Hopefully we’ve convinced you that buying from an authorised stockist comes with a huge number of benefits, including – most importantly – your own peace of mind!
