I agree with what seems to be the consensus: there is definitely something fishy about this company! I received a Bernoulli watch as a gift, but it didn't work, so I sent it to the company to be repaired. After not hear from them for three months, I finally called the repair center to check the status of the watch. They told me they were not able to fix it (not sure why it took them three months to determine that) but that they have a list of sub offers that they would offer as a replacement. I selected one, which they sent me about a week later. Initially it worked fine, but after about a week it stopped keeping time. I again sent it in for repairs, only to find out that they were planning on charging me for the repair! I said that was fine and asked them to contact me when the repair was finished. After two months, I called to check the status. Again, the watch was "irreparable," but they sent me another list of substitutes, this time offering some of their other brands of watches, including Romilly and Rousseau. I chose one of those, which I received yesterday, and it does not keep time! I am currently in negotiations to find a substitute.

After dealing this much with inadequate customer service, I can guarantee this is not a legitimate company. However, all this aside, the watches are very nice-looking and do APPEAR to be well crafted. I will see where watch #4 gets me...if anywhere!

Yeah guys, but I like design, it's very original, how we can find other, but good watches with this looking ?

You are exactly RIGHTT!!! ....I bought a bernoulli watch like a year ago. I ended up paying a little for it but when I visited the website I knew it wasnt the real thing. It is physically impossible to sell something that retails for $2500 for under $200. I already knew it was a fake and anyone that doesn't is an idiot.

On the plus side, when I got it in the mail it was very nice.. it wasn't light, it had weight to it, real leather, nice finish and glass. I followed the instructions on it on how to wind it and ended up ooverwinding it in the first couple of weeks. I contacted the seller and returned the watch to get it fix... 4 months later i got it back working and now i know not to wind it more than 7 times once it stops.

Anyway Ive had it for almost 2 years now its still in great shape, still glossy and shiny and sticks out. I always get great comments and appreciation when i wear it to gatherings or parties! ...Bottom line I dont care if the company doesnt exist, or if its a fake, or if its made in china or mars, when i wear it to a function all i get is heads turning telling me woww that must be expensive.

So you guys keep doin yur FBI research while I get all the applause and all the girls when I walk around with the timepiece..

so you bought that lovely watch after your cosmetic surgeon told you you're a hopeless case, right ?

ebay doesn't give a damn about anything but collecting fees, they will not help with anything and will hardly ever drop anyone unless they actually threaten you with bodily harm

Hi,

I just won a bernoulli watch, until i read this topic i didnt realize how stupid it was to bid for something who worths crap. Now i have to pay a 80 bucks for the watch and 24$ for the shipping. What should i do? pay for the watch (by the way the presumed MSRP is: 895$) or ignor it( since then the seller wont let me go). Or should i just buy it and return it whitin 3days.

the watch is very beatiful. Plz help me.

you really believe the BS you're telling ? I mean about that Haas ?
made-up crap with a made-up history.
the sign they use, the running hare, is stolen from a company named Phillip Haas & Söhne, St. Georgen, Germany, that existed from 1867 to 1920. the rest is photoshop.

didnt really want to add this because I dont want people to take it the wrong way, but it may help -

when you buy/wear a Bernoulli, unless you hang out with people who are quite clueless - then you may carry the stigma of being had by a Chinese watch company selling inexpensive watches pretending it to be thousands of dollars.

personally I wouldnt judge a person and will give the wearer the benefit of the doubt that he/she knows the Bernoulli is not worth that much (though it may look it)

and about inflated price, yes even the big name watch companies tend to inflate their price, but they have good reasons and back that up with their history and workmanship

Bernoulli is a cheap Chinese watch while Timex is also a cheap watch, go for a Seiko or Citizen instead or even a Russian Poljot

I have owned one of these watches for several years. It looks great runs great and has never given me a problem. I know the MSRP is advertising bull. But the watches are quality crafted, look great and are real eye catchers. I am currently looking to buy another for my son. To attest to the craftsmanship, I took mine to a local jeweler and asked about having it cleaned, and was told I would have to take it to a high end watch dealer. He told me he would not open the case on a watch like this. It looks good enough that the jeweler thought it to be high end! I have no idea why this company does not just main stream these watches without the BS sales pitch. I would compare what they do to what Kirby vacuum company has always done with sales! They have a good quality product but as Kirby is just a good looking vac, this is just a watch!

Wouldn't Invicta fall into this same marketing strategy- high MSRP with huge (90%-95%) discount? I'm inundated with ads for these at another major online sellers site...
