Berna offers selected upcoming watches through a conditional preorder model at a preorder price that is much cheaper than the planned retail price. Production only proceeds if preorder demand reaches a level that supports a viable path to manufacturing. If that threshold is not met, all preorder customers are refunded in full.
Preorder allows customers to secure a watch at this significantly lower preorder price before production begins. It also allows Berna to measure real demand before committing to manufacturing, which helps launch new releases with greater discipline and transparency. If a release reaches a viable threshold, it moves forward into production and customers are kept informed about progress and expected delivery timing. If it does not reach that threshold, the preorder is cancelled and all payments are refunded in full.
Once the preorder window closes, Berna reviews demand and confirms whether the release can move forward. Customers then receive an update with the next steps, including projected production timing or confirmation of a refund. The preorder price applies only during the preorder period and is reserved for early supporters who back selected upcoming releases.
Terms and Conditions
Selected Berna watches are offered through a conditional preorder model. By placing a preorder, you agree to these terms.
Production of a preorder release will only proceed if preorder demand reaches a level that makes the project commercially viable and supports a reasonable path to the required manufacturing minimums. If that threshold is not met, the preorder is treated as cancelled and all payments are refunded in full. Refund timing will follow standard payment‑provider processing times, and the refund will be issued to the original payment method used during checkout.
The preorder price applies only during the preorder period and is offered to pre‑supporters before the watch is available at regular retail pricing. After the preorder window closes, Berna will review demand and confirm whether the release will move into production. Customers will be informed by email or other contact method provided at checkout about the outcome and next steps, including any production or delivery timeline.
By placing a preorder, you acknowledge that:
The release is not guaranteed to go into production.
The preorder price is limited to the preorder period and may not be available later.
If the project does not reach the necessary threshold, your order will be cancelled and refunded in full.
These terms form part of the agreement between you and Berna Watch. If you no longer wish to participate in the preorder, please contact Berna before the preorder window closes
