Testimonials
Rob was an outstanding bloke to deal with - open, honest and upfront. He was happy to answer all my questions and was very patient. Made the transaction really smooth and filled me with a lot of confidence in purchasing a watch from him. Would highly recommend! Kevin L. - 2 July 2020
Purchased some quality Bergeon products from Rob. Excellent customer service and a wealth of knowledge on everything watch related. Thanks for the tools and the chat! Peter F. - 8 May 2020
I just picked up my strap from the post office. I have a few jackets made by Aero using the FQHH by Horween and know how great the stuff is but I’ve never even considered a watch strap made from it. It is absolutely amazing! Very happy! I actually took my watch off a super soft rubber strap and your leather is just as comfortable, if not better. Thanks again! :) Oliver G. - 2 March 2020
Picked up one of the vintage style leather straps from a local independent watch maker, absolutely love the look and feel of the strap, great quality product and nice to see a local Perth company getting amongst it. Andy B. - 6 Dec 2019
