Product Description

The Croton Story

The History of Croton
Croton Watch Co., Inc. was founded in 1878, when there was not the plethora of watch companies as there are contemporarily. Each manufacturer labored to create the horological wonder of the century. Croton was a small manufacturer with the philosophy that precision, quality, style and value go hand in hand.The family-owned and operated business specialized in diamond weight high-end watches that sold to small jewelry boutiques throughout the United States. As Croton’s reputation grew, there was more and more demand for their high quality watches. Croton expanded its bejeweled line, as the discriminating tastes of their customer changed.

Croton Promise of Excellence
There is a Croton Watch for just about any occasion. From 18kt gold diamond studded automatic collectibles to everyday watches in the current season's most fashionable colors and styles. From production through after sales service, Croton stands behind its product. This is the same attention to detail that has been winning the wrists of millions of Americans since 1878. You will see the same high standards exemplified by each of our timepieces in high end department stores as well as fine jewelry establishments. Each Croton Watch carries an unprecedented lifetime warranty on its movement, and the Customer Service Department prides itself on a turn around time of ten days.

Croton Limited Lifetime Warranty
Your Croton timepiece is warranted for lifetime against failures due to defective materials or workmanship. Should such a defect occur, it will be repaired free of charge (except a $15 service fee for shipping, handling and insurance) within a reasonable period of time from the date of its receipt at our factory service center.

Do not attempt to open a watch yourself. Repairs should only be performed by our repair center to ensure dust free conditions and to maintain the water resistance and accuracy of your timepiece, as well as keep in effect full coverage of the Croton warranty.This warranty does not cover free repair or replacement of cases, batteries, watchbands, straps, dials, crowns, or crystals within the warranty period since such items are subject to "wear and tear" of daily use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Value but Ask for Replacement Pins, February 14, 2007

This review is from: Croton Watch Repair Kit (Watch)

The basic problem with this kit is its most essential piece. The blue plastic link remover does not come with replacement pins. It requires focus to properly align the tool's push pin with the friction-fitted watch band link pin. The novice wll almost certainly bend or snap the push pin at some point. When I called the company for a replacement pin, a representative didn't hesitate to offer it by mail without charge. So, why not include a few in the kit? The kit's long nose pliers are good quality and needed to extract a watch band's dislodged link pin. The tweezers and (six) screwdrivers are useful in some situations, but a small hammer to make flush the replaced link pin is always useful. My kit came with instructions but why not an illustration? The kit's list price of one hundred dollars doesn't add up. A hardware store will sell comparable quality long nose pliers for about ten dollars. Tweezers and a set of jewelry screwdrivers are easily available. The link remover is a specialized tool but it is plastic. At the sale price of $25 this is a fair value, but you will want to ask for a couple of replacement pins with your order.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent kit, worth $25 not the $100 list price, January 8, 2007

Just purchased the kit, the watch link remover tool has a cheap feel but does the job, the link remover pin was bent, but the plier they included did well to straighten the link remover pin. The Link remover did work well, but lacked the fine adjustments. The box was cheap paper and they items are packed in foam with cutouts for each tool. The pliers has already chewed up the foam cutout meant for the plier. One thing missing is the watch cover opener, otherwise it is a decent set.

Make sure to ask for replacement pins...mine broke after removing two links with the link tool.

Instructions leave a lot to be desired.
