Product Information
Where are your products manufactured?
Rather than confining ourselves to a specific geographical region, we procure components from top-tier suppliers around the globe. Cases and most components are from Mainland China. Watch hands, indexes and calibre are from Japan. Leather material are from Italy, then made in Hong Kong by Monves studio.
Our operations encompass design, pre-prototyping, and product assembly in Hong Kong, enabling us to oversee every detail with precision before delivering the final product to you.
Are your wacthes waterproof?
Our watches boast a water resistance rating of up to 100 meters (10 ATM). We advise against water contact while wearing a leather bracelet. Always ensure that the crown is fully screwed in and tightened securely. Avoid operating the crown while underwater. In case of use in seawater, rinse the watch with fresh water and ensure thorough drying.

How do you ship to United States?
To ensure a smooth and transparent delivery experience, we ship using Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) service. A fixed fee will be charged at checkout.

However, please note that U.S. Customs may randomly inspect shipments and request additional information from you. This may include documents such as your Social Security Number (SSN), Personal ID, or Tax ID. These requests are made at the discretion of U.S. Customs and are outside our control. If contacted, you must respond directly to Customs/FedEx with the required information to complete the clearance process.
Monbrey will not request or handle any of your personal information.
