Ordering process and payment

How does the ordering process for my desired item work, and what do I need to be aware of?

For our online shop, we use Shopify's checkout process. This process has been proven millions of times worldwide and is optimized to minimize shopping cart abandonment. The entire process takes place in just a few steps:

1. Express Checkout

If you use modern payment methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Shop Pay, it's especially fast. One click is all it takes: The shipping address and payment details are securely transferred from your smartphone or browser. You skip the typing and order in seconds.

2. Classic Checkout (3 Steps)

If you choose the standard checkout route, Chronenwerk guides you through a clear, distraction-free layout:

  • Step 1: Customer Information. You enter your email address and shipping address. If you already have a customer account, simply log in.
  • Step 2: Shipping Method. The system automatically calculates the appropriate shipping costs – based on weight, order value, or region – and displays the delivery options.
  • Step 3: Payment. Here you select your preferred payment method (e.g., credit card, PayPal, or Klarna) and complete the purchase legally by clicking the 'Pay Now' button.

3. The Conclusion

After your purchase, you will be taken to a clear thank-you page. We will also send you an order confirmation by email and notify you of the receipt of your order.

What payment options are available to me?

For a convenient and secure shopping experience, we offer a wide range of payment options.

If you prefer maximum flexibility, various Klarna services are available. You can pay the amount due directly via your online banking using Klarna Sofort when placing your order. Alternatively, you can use Klarna Invoice to inspect the goods at your leisure and pay later, or you can conveniently divide the total amount into monthly installments with Klarna Rate Pay.

Payment via PayPal is equally versatile. In addition to the classic, immediate PayPal payment, you have the option of selecting PayPal 'Pay later', where your account will only be debited after 30 days. For larger purchases, we also offer convenient installment payments via PayPal Ratepay. For a particularly fast checkout, we support the digital wallets Apple Pay and Google Pay, allowing you to check out securely in seconds using your smartphone, tablet, or computer. We also offer Shop Pay for an expedited payment process if you have already saved your shipping and payment information there. Of course, we also accept traditional payment methods. You can easily pay by credit card; we support Amex, Visa, and Mastercard. Finally, you can also choose to pay by bank transfer in advance. Please note that we will prepare your order for shipment immediately after receiving your payment.

Is PayPal or credit card a safe payment method?
Both PayPal and credit cards are considered very secure payment methods. Both offer excellent protection against data misuse and the option to request a refund in case of problems. As merchants, we do not see your bank or credit card details. These are securely stored with PayPal. You can report unauthorized charges to your credit card or delivery problems directly to your bank and often receive a straightforward refund. Tips for identifying fake shops and further recommendations for safe online shopping can be found at the BSI (Federal Office for Information Security) website.
Can I buy watches on account?
Yes, with Klarna and PayPal's "buy now, pay later" option, you have the possibility to pay for your desired timepiece after 30 days.
Is payment in installments possible?

Yes, of course! We want to make shopping with us as flexible and convenient as possible. You can easily finance larger purchases with us in monthly installments. We work with the safest and most well-known payment providers for this purpose. This way, you always maintain full control over your budget. In the final step of our checkout process, simply select one of the following options:

1. PayPal Installments

  • It's that easy: Select PayPal as your payment method at checkout. After logging into your PayPal account, the "Installments" option will automatically be displayed (provided your credit rating is positive).
  • Your flexibility: You can pay off the amount flexibly over several months. The payment will be conveniently debited from your bank account.

2. Klarna Installment Purchase

  • It's that easy: At checkout, select Klarna and choose installment payment.
  • Your flexibility: You can divide the purchase price into fixed monthly installments (e.g., over 3, 6, 12, or 24 months) or pay the amount flexibly at your own pace. You will receive all the information and the monthly statement clearly displayed directly in the Klarna app.

The most important things for you at a glance:

  • Immediate dispatch: Your order will be processed and shipped by us immediately – just as quickly as if you were paying the full amount upfront.
  • Verification in seconds: The installment payment is approved in real time in the background during the ordering process. You don't need to fill out any paper forms or go to the post office. No hidden costs: You see all applicable interest and the exact amount of your monthly payment transparently before you finalize your purchase.
