In addition, Daniel is always open to share his expertize even for add on questions/comments; which is highlt appreciated.
Highly recommended!
Perfect experience
Daniel made me have a perfect purchase experience.
He was honest in presenting the best price options, creative in finding the best logistic solution, supportive in all the purchase steps.
Daniel really spreads watch happiness
Daniel really spreads happiness to us watch enthusiasts.
Friendly and inviting but very professional and knowledgable. Totally open about his business, how it's possible for him to offer new watches to better prices than at an AD, what you get and what you don't get, what's included and what's not and very clear about the whole proces. Ticked all the boxes of questions that I had.
For me I had a better experience with Daniel than at an AD. It's much more personal and it allows more time to just talk watches in general, where Daniel really shows his passion for our common interest.
Next watch, my first to ask will for usre be Daniel again!
100% great experience
Daniel is very reliable, always responsive, honest and delivers on promises. Would always work with him again!
Trustworthy, reliable, enthusiastic retailer
Daniel sold a few watches for me and provided a reliable and fair service and price (including polishing, revision, photoshooting). I know from personal experience what it's like to work with dubious dealers and appreciate his business philosophy, which is characterized by authentic enthusiasm. If you give him time, he also sells watches for which there seems to be no market
Reliable honest seller
We where looking for somone who sells our fathers Rolex Oyster. After talking to Mr. Dagassan, we where convinced to have found a reliable, honest seller. It took a little patience to wait for the right offer, but it paid out well. Great communication in all terms. Thank you for all your knowlege and your work.
Once SwissManufactures, always SwissManufactures
This is now the fourth watch I purchased from Daniel. As always, I am very pleased with his service: friendly, supportive, fast response, never pressuring and I can trust him 100%. For me better than any concessionaire experience, so far. Once SwissManufactures.com, always SwissManufactures.com
Watch purchased from Daniel Dagassan
I recently purchased a watch from Daniel and he went above and beyond to make sure the transaction went smoothly. I had a very tight timeframe and Daniel was always prompt with his communication and made sure he did everything possible to ensure the watch arrived on time, which it did. I highly recommend Daniel for his professional service and you can tell he has a true passion for watches.
A Smooth and Trustworthy Online Luxury Watch Purchase
My recent purchase of a high-end watch from SwissManufactures GmbH was exceptional, thanks entirely to the outstanding service provided by Daniel.
While online luxury purchases can be daunting, Daniel's impeccable service made the entire process feel comfortable and welcoming. His clear communication and consistent helpfulness throughout fostered a high level of trust, which is essential when buying luxury goods online.
Daniel's professionalism was both impressive and refreshing. He not only met but exceeded my expectations, making this the most positive online watch purchase I've ever had.
For anyone looking for a smooth and trustworthy online experience when buying a luxury watch, I can't recommend Daniel enough!
Zenith Chronomaster Open…
I bought a Zenith Chronomaster Open from Mr. Daniel in 2020. Very pleasant experience. The watch remains beautiful and ticking wonderfully. Packaging and handling was superb and transaction was easy and smooth on the chrono24 platform. Highly recommended.
Great experience. Trust Daniel
Great experience. Daniel is wonderful to work with and trustworthy. Buying an expensive watch from an overseas dealer can be a stressful experience especially when the piece is expensive. Daniel delivered the watch to me on time and it was in pristine condition. The price was fantastic and I would not hesitate to buy a watch from him in the future.
Watch purchased Glasheutte Original PanoMaticLunar in red gold
Top notch service, still setting the standard
Returning to Daniel after ten years felt like reconnecting with an old friend. The service maintained its impeccable standard – consistently professional from beginning to end. It's the epitome of excellence and sets the bar high for others. Look no further, this is how the watch sales should be done.
Look no further - trust Daniel
My watch collecting journey has been greatly improved since I bought my first watch from Daniel a few years ago. He has been able to source the watches I was looking for and sell the ones I no longer wanted in my collection. The condition of watches on offer are always accurate. His advice is invaluable and always given in his client’s best interests. His integrity and honesty is refreshing and one can trust him fully.
Daniel has my highest recommendation.

Firstly,He's such a gentleman
Firstly,He's such a gentleman. He keep up to his words. He's passionate & respectful. That's a kind of people you want to do business with. My 'new product' is brand new. No doubts. I recommend Mr.Daniel.
Perfect customer service although I had…
Perfect customer service although I had to return a product. He even arranged the return shipping. Prices are very fair also. Highly recommended.
Just Perfect
I couldn’t have asked for a better buying experience. Daniel reviews live up to the expectations, he is super professional, has great knowledge and is very trustworthy. We started discussing only a week ago and I just acquired my brand new watch. He has been able to guide me through the whole process, advising me on the best way to acquire it. I had been after this particular watch for a few months now and managed to get it from Daniel, at a very fair price. Would recommend him 11/10. Thanks again, hope we meet soon.
Daniel does indeed “spread watch…
Daniel does indeed “spread watch happiness!”
When my watch (Zenith Shadow Revival) arrived, there was a small defect with one of the chrono pushers; Daniel immediately took steps to resolve the issue, and was in constant communication with me. He sent a replacement watch within a couple days.
All in all, a great and honest guy, who will give you a fair price and make sure you are taken care of!
The Best Watch Buying Experience You Could Ask For!
I cannot recommend Daniel and SwissManufactures highly enough. From first contact to last, it was a pleasure and Daniel did everything possible to make my experience pleasant and easy. I was able to get exactly the watch I had been searching for, sent directly to me and quickly at that. His pricing was more than fair and his communication was top-notch. Thank you Daniel - You really do spread ‘Watch Happiness’!

It was a pleasure to make a deal with Daniel ! 100% reliable and on time. The whole sales process worked like a charm ! If you are upset with your AD, give Daniel a call. Proactive Communication, amazing customer treatment... Really impossible to find points where Daniel could improve... At least I have none ... Btw. I got a beatiful Zenith :)
Trustworthy professional
Dealing with Daniel was a pleasure to say the least. Yes, he helped me find the watch I was interested in incredibly quickly at a very fair price point....but he is so much more. He is a very well-spoken and patient expert in the field, a gentleman who exudes trust. A refreshing and completely flawless experience. If ever the need for another timepiece arises, I know on whose door I will knock.
