MODEL No.2 | CHRONOGRAPH PREORDERS
HOW DO I PREORDER THE MODEL NO.2?
While preorders for the Model No. 2 closed in November 2024, additional units are available to reserve on a rolling basis, with delivery dates adjusted according to available supply. If you wish to reserve a watch, please contact us for a projected delivery date and direct invoice.

CAN YOU ACCEPT PARTIAL PAYMENT FOR PREORDERS?
No, payment in full is required to reserve the watch in advance.
CAN I CANCEL MY PREORDER?
You can cancel your preorder within 48hrs of placing it. After this period, the order is non-refundable. That is because the watch you order is reserved specifically for you, and we are required to pay our manufacturers for it, up front.
WHEN WILL MY PREORDERED MODEL NO.2 BE DELIVERED?
Earliest deliveries on preorders will begin May 2025.
CAN I CHOOSE MY NUMBER IF I ORDER ONE OF THE FIRST 150 UNITS?
The first 150 units will be numbered in the sequence that the orders are received. As such, we are not able to allocate a specific number to your order.
GENERAL QUESTIONS
WHY DID LORCA COME TO BE?
As keen watch enthusiasts and observers of the industry, we felt there was a lack of refined, high quality sports watches being offered for under $5k USD.
We wanted to bring consumers & collectors new designs that felt fresh and distinctive, while at the same time, classic. Watches, we ourselves were seeking: serious, quality timepieces with character, available at a fair price. Not a stand-in for a more expensive counterpart, out of reach.
Lorca watches are elegant, singular in design, more than adequately waterproof and solidly built.
WHERE IS LORCA BASED?
Lorca is based in New York City. Our watches are designed by Jesse Marchant at his NYC studio.
WHERE ARE YOUR WATCHES MADE?
Our watches are assembled at state of the art facilities in Switzerland of parts manufactured in Switzerland & Hong Kong. All our watches feature highly accurate mechanical movements manufactured in Switzerland.
ARE LORCA WATCHES HIGH QUALITY?
Yes, very much so. We work with only the finest suppliers of components available in the sub $10k sphere.
Our material quality, finish and QC is on par with that of larger Swiss brands that offer similar watches at a significantly higher price.
DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONALLY?
Yes. We ship our watches all over the world via UPS & DHL. Shipping is free and fully insured.
DO PRICES INCLUDE TAXES, VAT & DUTY?

WHERE DO YOU SHIP FROM?
We personally perform final QC and ship every watch in fully recyclable packaging from our headquarters in New York City.
DO YOU OFFER A WARRANTY?
Yes, we offer a 2 year warranty on our watches, valid from the date of delivery, against any mechanical issue resulting from a manufacturing defect.
