Why you can't get one in Slovenia.
Slovenia sits between Italy, Austria and Croatia, and the closest stocking boutiques are in Milan and Vienna, both about a four hour drive from Ljubljana. The boutiques operate a one-piece-per-person-per-store-per-day rule, and popular colorways routinely sell out within the first hour of restock days. Several Slovenian buyers have driven to Milan on a Saturday morning, queued at opening, and left without the colorway they wanted. The boutique does not reserve pieces, does not take phone orders and does not ship. We send a sourcing partner to the boutique on your behalf, so the trip across the border and the queue are not part of your buying experience.
How our sourcing service works.
Pick your colorway on our shop page and pay in EUR via Stripe. Our team in Vienna places the order with one of our EU boutique partners, collects the watch within the week, inspects it, photographs it, and ships it to your Slovenian address from inside the EU. Standard colorways are €1,500 ex-VAT, Otto Rosso is €1,100, Blaue Acht is €1,300, Lan Ba is €3,200, and the Complete Set is €15,000. Slovenian VAT at 22 percent is calculated automatically at checkout based on your delivery address, so the price you see at checkout is the price you pay.
Shipping to Slovenia.
Shipments to Slovenia leave Vienna within 3 to 7 working days of your order. DHL Express then delivers to Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, Kranj and the rest of the country in 1 to 2 working days, fully tracked and insured for the full value of the watch. Slovenia is inside the EU customs union, and we ship from Austria, so there is no import duty, no customs broker fee and no paperwork at delivery. The package contains the watch in its original Swatch box, the boutique receipt with the serial number, and our resale invoice with the Slovenian VAT line shown separately.
