Luxury Watches in Aruba
Luxury watches in Aruba: Swiss and pre-owned timepieces shown by private viewing. Here is what you save, what to check, and how to book.
Luxury watches in Aruba are one of the island’s best buys, because prices are in US dollars with no sales tax at the register. We show Swiss dress, sport, chronograph and gold watches, plus certified pre-owned pieces from the big houses, by private viewing. We are an independent jeweler rather than a brand boutique, so tell us the style you are after and we tell you what we can put on your wrist.
The honest answer on the price of luxury watches in Aruba
Swiss brands set list prices, and new watches sell at or near the same US list price everywhere. What you save in Aruba is your home sales tax, often 6 to 10%. On pre-owned pieces, the saving can be much larger. Stock is the bigger question with sought-after models, so an appointment does not guarantee a specific reference. However, it puts you in front of the right pieces with a real conversation instead of a waitlist form.
- Papers and warranty. Every watch we sell comes with its box, papers and a written warranty, and pre-owned pieces come with a service history.
- Pre-owned is where Aruba gets interesting. Ask for the service history and compare with online pre-owned prices before deciding; we encourage it.
- Customs: a watch above the $800 exemption is dutiable when you re-enter the US, per U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Keep the receipt and warranty card together, and declare it.

Frequently asked questions
Are luxury watches in Aruba cheaper than in the US?
The base price of a new watch is usually the same list price. Your saving is mainly the sales tax you would have paid at home. Pre-owned pieces can be considerably cheaper. Then factor in US duty above your $800 exemption when you return.
Do you sell pre-owned watches?
Yes. Certified pre-owned pieces come with a service history, papers where available and our own warranty. Tell us the reference you have in mind.
Can I try a watch on before deciding?
Of course. A private viewing means the watches you asked about are ready, sized to your wrist, with time to compare.
