Faq	General	Do you sell replacement straps?	We offer replacement 20mm wide straps so you can have a clean, fresh start once you have worn your existing vegetable tanned band in. All of our current bands come with a simple pinch pin making it easy to swap and refresh. If your old strap has a traditional pin you will need to take your new strap and timepiece to your local jeweller or watch repairer to swap over the old for the new. It's an easy job and most jewellers will do this while you wait. Please note the 20mm Original strap is only compatible with the Original, Resin, D Series, Heritage, Chronograph and Stone watches. 18mm wide straps will be available to purchase mid May of this year.
Faq	General	How can I care for my leather straps?	Our leather straps are made using Italian full grain, vegetable-tanned leather. No pigments are used to hide leather defects and in some cases, some scratches and marks will be visible on the leather as a result of the natural process – particularly the tan and vegetable tan leather bands. This is normal and not to be seen as a defect. Please note leather is a porous material so to preserve your strap we recommend avoiding coming into contact with water, moisture, oils, perfumes or cosmetics as this will significantly deteriorate the lifespan of the item. Avoid over-exposure to extreme heat or direct lighting.
Faq	General	Are the watches waterproof?	Our Coast Collection is 200ATM and the only completely waterproof watch in our collection. Most of our Time Teller styles are 5ATM, and The Classic is 3ATM which means exposure to high humidity and light rain showers is acceptable. Avoid wearing the watch whilst showering, swimming, diving or during any other activity where it may be subject to abnormal water pressures or environments where heat and moisture are present. Although because the watch has a leather strap – we wouldn’t recommend getting it wet at all, as that will significantly shorten the lifespan of the band.
Faq	General	Do you have any stockists that I can visit to try a Horse product on?	Yes! Please visit our Flagship Store at 89 Pittwater Rd, Manly, Sydney. Also, we are building our selection of stockists in Australia and around the globe. Please check the Stockists page of the website to see where will work best for you.

Our customer care team will respond to your email in 2 business days. Please note returns are only accepted for items purchased directly from The Horse website, or our Manly Flagship store. Warranty claims require a proof of purchase, including watches that have been gifted. Once we have received your claim, if the covered component proves to be defective in material or craftsmanship under normal use, it will be repaired or the watch will be replaced free of repair charges. You will be notified via email from us, and your working watch will be sent out via express post with full tracking. We aim to process your claim within the week of receiving it.
Faq	Warranty	How long is the warranty period?	Our warranty covers your watch for 1 year.
Faq	Warranty	What is covered by warranty?	During the warranty period, the watch movement, hands, and dial are the only components covered under this warranty. This means that if the materials in your watch aren't right or if the watch isn't put together correctly, we'll repair or replace it. The warranty doesn’t cover: Damage resulting from improper handling, lack of care, accidents including scratching, bouncing, falling, or normal wear and tear. Defects of internal or external components due to contact with water or moisture. The Original Time Teller is 5ATM, and The Classic is 3ATM which means they can only be subjected to light splashes/moisture. We advise against wearing the watch during activities such as showering and swimming, during which the watch can be exposed to more than minor splashes. The warranty will be voided in the case that a third party performed repair works or other works on the watch without first contacting The Horse and obtaining approval.
Faq	Monogramming	What is monogramming?	Monogramming adds a beautiful, personal touch to our leather accessories. Traditionally a monogram consists of a persons 2 or 3 initials. Our website offers a Monogramming Preview on all products that have the option to be monogrammed. All our monogramming is done by hand in our Sydney studio using traditional machinery.
Faq	Monogramming	How much does monogramming cost?	We charge an additional $10 for monogramming. You may enter up to 2 - 3 initials in upper case block letters only (no symbols).
Faq	Monogramming	Can I choose a foil colour?	Yes, you are able to choose from Gold, Silver, Copper foil or blind deboss. If the item you are purchasing includes hardware, we recommend complimenting the foil colour to the hardware or choosing a blind deboss.
Faq	Monogramming	Can I choose the positioning of the monogramming?	No. We’ve carefully considered the positioning of the monogramming on each of our leather pieces so placement is limited to one pre-determined location.
Faq	Monogramming	How do I personalise my order with a monogram?	If a product is suitable for monogramming, you will be able to choose this option from the product page before adding the item to your shopping cart.
Faq	Monogramming	Can I monogram my watch?	Unfortunately, no. There is insufficient space for monogramming on the leather bands of our timepieces. If you wanted to personalise these pieces, we recommend taking them to your local engraver for a message on the caseback.
Faq	Monogramming	Can I return my monogrammed product?	No. Due to the personalised nature of monogramming, we do not offer returns for monogrammed goods.
Contact Us	Commonly Asked Questions	Can I buy a watch but swap it for a different band?	Yes, nearly all our watch straps are fitted with pinch pins so replacing the straps in and out for different looks is easy. We currently offer 20mm straps for purchase which are compatible with The Original, The Original 2.0, The Resin, The Heritage, and The Chronograph collections. If your current watch isn't fitted with a pinch pin, simply take your local watch maker or jeweller who will have the tools to assist you for a nominal fee. We will be releasing 18mm straps early next year.
