Payment
We accept a wide range of secure payment methods: credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro), Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Klarna, cryptocurrency such as USDT via Shopify Payments, and local options such as iDEAL and Bancontact. You are also welcome to pay by bank transfer — we'll email you Montredo's bank account details after you place your order so you can complete the payment. All payment details are kept fully secure.

Yes - you can spread the cost of your watch using PayPal or Klarna, subject to approval based on your personal financial circumstances and the country of your residence. You select either option at checkout, where the available terms and any costs are shown before you confirm.
Klarna lets you split your purchase into instalments - for example Pay in 3, with the first payment taken at purchase and the remainder over the following months. Approval is based on a soft eligibility check that does not affect your credit score, and you manage your payments in the Klarna app. The exact options depend on your country and order value.
With PayPal you can pay larger purchases over several monthly instalments - in Germany typically 3 to 24 months, for order values up to EUR 10,000. Interest may apply depending on the term, and the effective rate and full schedule are shown transparently before you confirm. A PayPal account with a linked bank account or card and positive creditworthiness is required. For watches above the provider's limit, bank transfer or card payment is available.
Since we are an online-only business, we do not have any high-street retail spaces, nor do we carry stock at our office in Berlin. However, we offer free and insured shipping within the EU.
International Orders
Of course! Please note that an additional shipment charge of EUR 30 is applied to shipments to all non-EU countries. If your order is to be shipped to a non-EU address, there may also be an additional customs fee applied when your item arrives in your country, and this fee is determined by the value of your order. Please be assured that we will include all necessary documents inside your shipment (if applicable), to ensure a smooth customs process. Your local customs agency will be able to provide more accurate information regarding this fee, however our Customer Service Team are also more than happy to help if you have any further questions.
If you are visiting our store from outside the EU, VAT will be deducted from the prices shown on our website. Once the watch has been exported, your local VAT rate will be required to be paid to your local customs agency, or to the delivery courier. Further information concerning import regulations can be obtained by contacting your local customs authorities.
We will ensure that all relevant customs documents are included alongside your delivery. Your package will be prepared to enable a smooth customs process for delivery to any non-EU countries, with a fully completed customs declaration. Please note that any customs fees incurred in your country of residence will not be covered by Montredo. Please also contact your local customs office for more information regarding any charges you may incur.
