Frequently Asked Questions
How Good Is HOLZKERN Really?
Our customers choose Holzkern because they're looking for individuality and innovation. Accessories that all look the same? There's no shortage of those. Holzkern watches and jewelry, on the other hand, are as one-of-a-kind as the people who wear them. We build on natural materials with unique designs, and you'll see for yourself: your piece is a real showstopper. High-quality craftsmanship and strict quality checks also ensure top-tier quality, lasting enjoyment, and a comfortable feel for everyday wear.
What is the quality of the movements?
We use movements from well-known manufacturers, including TMI, Miyota (Citizen), and Epson. These movements have been in use for many years and have an excellent reputation. We offer quartz, automatic, and solar movements — quartz stands for the most modern, precise timekeeping, while automatic and solar watches win people over with practicality and real emotional value. The quality of our movements is consistently high — we rarely get negative feedback about timekeeping accuracy, and when we do, it's usually resolved quickly.
Does a HOLZKERN watch have a guarantee?
Yes — every Holzkern watch comes with a 24-month warranty from the date of purchase. The warranty covers material and manufacturing defects, such as movement issues or flaws in the case or strap. It doesn't cover damage from improper use, normal wear, or external factors. To file a warranty claim, reach out anytime through our service form.
How does the return work?
You can return products within 24 days of receiving them — the only requirement is that items are unworn and in their original packaging. Use our service portal to start a return. For Premium Club members, we're happy to cover return shipping — create a free return label within our Service Portal.
Is HOLZKERN overpriced?
We hear you — inflation affects all of us, and you have every right to question the cost. But you'll see: Holzkern watches and jewelry are truly different from accessories by other brands, and it's that signature mix of design, nature, and individuality that our customers feel is worth the price. Of course, cheaper alternatives exist — the choice is entirely yours.
Is the jewelry waterproof?
This really depends on your piece's materials. Jewelry made from stainless steel, (semi-)precious stone, pearls, or mother-of-pearl is generally water-resistant; designs with a wood component are not. That said, light splashes — like washing your hands or getting caught in the rain — shouldn't be a problem either way. To be safe, we recommend taking off your jewelry before showering, bathing, or swimming. That way, the color, surface, and fit stay in great shape for the long run.
