It already exists in the automotive sector, for example. We&#8217;ve had this idea in mind for our stores for a long time. Up to now, we&#8217;ve offered the possibility of paying for a purchase in several instalments, but we&#8217;ve kept it in the store until the final balance is paid. This time, we&#8217;re going one step further by offering our customers the possibility of paying in instalments, while enjoying the watch immediately. We&#8217;re not the first to offer this type of service, but the big difference is that we&#8217;re watchmakers. Our strength lies in combining financing, watchmaking service and professional advice.      <\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>What does it mean in concrete terms?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Quite simply, our customers now have the option of buying a watch with payment spread over 12, 24, 36 or 48 months. All interest-free. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>Does this service cover <\/b><b>your entire range?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">We are currently concentrating on watches, with financing ranging from CHF 2,000 to CHF 10,000. This offer will be extended to jewelry at a later date. The service operates in our two boutiques in Vevey, as well as in our Breitling boutique in Lausanne.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>How do you go about <\/b><b>to benefit?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The administrative procedures are very simple! All you need to do is meet the following conditions: be a Swiss citizen or have a C residence permit, not have any legal proceedings or seizures in progress, and provide proof of identity. A first agreement in principle is immediately given by our partner. The contract is then definitively validated within 24 hours. Finally, to take possession of the item, there are several options: we can welcome the customer in our boutique, or we can send the watch by parcel post. Third option: we can deliver it within three hours or at the customer&#8217;s earliest convenience, depending on the geographical area.     <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-73885 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lionel-meylan.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/capture-decran-2020-10-14-a-15-18-05-2048x1958..png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>IN SUMMARY<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Service?  <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pay for your watch over 12, 24, 36 or 48 months, interest-free. Only one financing is authorized per person. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>How much?  <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Financing amounts range from CHF 2,000 to CHF 10,000. For larger amounts, the difference must be settled at the time of purchase. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Who?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The service is open to Swiss citizens and holders of a C residence permit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>How?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Choose your watch, determine your payment schedule and submit your documents. The contract is validated within 24 hours. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>What next?  <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">As soon as the contract has been validated, you can collect your watch from one of our boutiques, by post or by our personalized delivery service.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","blog_category":[481],"class_list":["post-178967","blog","type-blog","status-publish","hentry","blog_category-boutique-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lionel-meylan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/178967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lionel-meylan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lionel-meylan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/blog"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lionel-meylan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"blog_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lionel-meylan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog_category?post=178967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
