OUR SECRET RECIPE

Precision and calm

Swiss precision and tranquility - that is the secret recipe of Rent a Box. Especially watches not only show the time, they need it. We give this time to our watches and our jewelry from the time of purchase, revision or repair to the time of sale.

Current and modern watches are revised and refreshed with a lot of dedication before they are sold again as new. But also old timepieces from days long gone are given a new life, sometimes very elaborately, in the case of rarities. All our watches go through a process of checking for authenticity and quality in our watchmaker's studio - both when they are purchased and in the subsequent revision. Our heart beats especially for rare vintage watches, collector's items and rarities from the history of watchmaking. Our watchmakers Stefan Mittelmann and Henrik Lassen are experienced specialists of all decades and thus enable us to sell all our watches new with a 2-year warranty.

Purchased pieces of jewelry are received in our goldsmith's studio with the same level of care. Under the direction of the head of the studio Roman Bucher, pieces of jewelry are refreshed with great attention to detail or even undergo a metamorphosis into a completely new piece. In this way, even a solitaire made of failed love gets a new chance for a happy end. Refreshed and polished to a high gloss, the precious pieces shine like a rabbit.


The family business with the golden heart was founded in Lucerne in the heart of Switzerland in 1980 and later taken over by the eldest son. With a new name and an innovative concept, Rent a Box has expanded over the years into the whole of German-speaking Switzerland and, with 11 stores, is now the largest dealer in used jewellery and watches in Switzerland. Rent a Box is supported by a motivated, young team of experts and apprentices from various professions. In addition to the basic pillars in our studios, sales experts, commercial, graphic and marketing professionals and our trainees all pull together.
