The Père de Temps Story

Welcome to a new era in timepieces.

Père de Temps, is French for "The Father of Time". Legend teaches that the mythological figure Father Time was the force behind the beginning of all time keeping. He believed one should enjoy each minute because all the treasures on earth cannot bring back your most joyful moments. Such moments should be measured with elegance and grace. Wearing a mechanical watch exhibits quality, sophistication and character.

Père de Temps is a fresh beginning within an old tradition. For many years, our company desired to create mechanical watches for all to enjoy. With recent technological advancements and highly trained personnel, we are now able to offer to you a high caliber mechanical movement never before available in this price range.

Therefore, Père de Temps offers one of the best after sales service in the watch business: a three-year warranty on all our mechanical watches.

Today it’s the clothes you wear and the car you drive, that forms a first impression. When these elements are not visible, you are judged by the timepiece you are wearing. Upgrade yourself and enjoy a handmade quality, mechanical watch, with complicated see through dials and exhibition case backs.

You can be proud to wear a Père de Temps knowing that your watch movement and superior design is comparable to that of watches many more times its value. We bring personal exhilaration to watch connoisseurs who are seeking sophisticated watches and are not willing to pay exorbitant prices.

This review is from: Pere de Temps Men's 3027 Debut Patton Automatic Mechanical WatchStainless Steel with Exhibition Dial (Watch)

This watch looks every bit as elegant as watches costing 5 times the price. The precision movement that this watch attempts to emulate is very close, but not quite up to par with more expensive watches. That is probably to be expected at this price point, as you're buying a watch that "looks" like a much more expensive timepiece. In addition, in spite of an automatic watch winder, this watch loses 2-6 minutes of time per day. Finally, the construction of the watch feels heavy and substantial; it has a large face, and the band is heavily padded. I have had mine for 7 months, and it has yet to "break-in" to my wrist. On the contrary, the fob loop has already broken, and cannot be repaired.

Unfortunately, this watch falls into timepiece purgatory:

If you want to purchase a large, heavy timepiece that looks like a much more expensive watch (from 3 feet away), then this would be one way to do that. You could, however, purchase the same concept for 1/5th of the price.

If you're looking for a well-crafted, long-lasting watch that your next generation will fight over, then you should definitely spend the extra money and buy a proven, reliable timepiece from a reputable dealer who is well versed in the nuances of great watchmakers.
