New or pre-owned?
A pre-owned luxury watch often lets you get a model that’s hard to find at official retailers, like a ladies’ Nautilus, or a reference that’s no longer made, right away. Every watch in our inventory clearly shows its condition. To learn more, read our guide to buying a pre-owned Rolex in Canada with confidence.
Every watch authenticated by our experts
Jewellery watches and gem-set models also attract counterfeits. Before it’s offered, every watch goes through our authenticity check: movement, case, serial numbers, gem-setting and original papers when available. See our professional authentication process.
Giving a luxury watch as a gift
A luxury watch is a gift that gets passed down. In store, we help you choose the size and style for the person, and we adjust the bracelet after the purchase if needed. Prefer delivery? Our white glove service takes care of it. Shopping for a man instead? See our men’s luxury watches.
Sell or trade your watch

Frequently asked questions
There’s no single best watch, but a few models come up often: the Rolex Datejust 31 for its versatility, the Cartier Panthère for its jewellery-like elegance, the Cartier Tank for its classic lines and the ladies’ Patek Philippe Nautilus for its prestige. The right choice mostly depends on your style, your wrist size and how you’ll wear the watch every day.
Cartier and Rolex are the two brands women search for most in Canada. Cartier stands out for its jewellery heritage and iconic shapes, Rolex for the toughness and versatility of the Datejust. Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet sit a step higher in prestige, while Chopard and Omega offer elegant options at often more accessible prices.
Most luxury watches for women measure between 26 and 31 mm, a slim and elegant size. More and more women are choosing 34 to 36 mm cases, though, like the Rolex Datejust 36 or the Cartier Santos Medium, for a bolder look. Ideally, try two or three sizes: case shape and bracelet matter as much as diameter.
A quartz watch, like several Cartier Panthère models, is accurate, thin and keeps running even if you don’t wear it every day. An automatic watch, like the Rolex Datejust, winds with the movement of your wrist and stops if it isn’t worn for a few days. Both are true luxury watches: the choice mostly depends on how you’ll wear it.
Yes, as long as you buy from a dealer who authenticates every piece before selling it. Check the condition of the case and bracelet, the authenticity of any diamond setting, the serial numbers and whether original papers are included. At Honos Watches, every watch goes through our experts’ authenticity check before it’s offered.
What our clients say
I bought my first Rolex Submariner from François and the experience was flawless. He took the time to compare the Submariner Date with the No Date, showed me the original papers and the box, and the price was fair against the market. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for an authentic luxury watch in Montreal.
What won me over was how transparent François is about authentication. He walked me through how he checks the movement and the serial number on my Tudor Black Bay. You can tell he’s genuinely passionate about watchmaking.
I sold my Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch and François made me a clear offer in under 24 hours, well above what I was being offered elsewhere. No pressure, fast payment. If you want to sell a luxury watch with confidence, this is the place.
