Warranty Booklet Production for Luxury Watch Maisons

Luxury Watch Documentation & Multilingual Warranty Booklets

Abarel Atelier produces multilingual warranty booklets in credit-card format, designed to sit inside the watch box alongside the timepiece.
We work with Swiss and European watch brands and independent watchmakers, taking the booklet from layout and multilingual typesetting through to finished print.

The object

Each booklet measures 65 × 95 mm; small enough to rest in the box, substantial enough to feel considered. Covers are printed on 300 g coated stock with matt or gloss lamination. Matt gives a soft, tactile surface; gloss a sharper, more reflective one. An optional gold or silver hot-stamp can be applied to the logotype or a cover motif.

Interior pages are printed full colour on 100–130 g coated paper, saddle-stitched or perfect-bound along the short edge, in landscape or a calendar-style portrait that opens upward. Pantone spot colours are available on request.

Production runs through Central European workshops and is coordinated from Kraków.

Configurations

The booklet scales to what it needs to hold. Pages run in multiples of sixteen, so the format grows cleanly as content is added, from a warranty record alone to a complete documentation package.

16 pages

– warranty record only

32 pages – warranty and quick-start manual

64 pages – warranty, manual and brand story

96 pages – full documentation package

Setup films inside the booklet

Some movements deserve more than a folded paper insert. A discreet QR code in the booklet opens an animated setup guide, walking the owner through every hand and complication in the maison's own voice, with print and film authored under one roof.

What we handle

The atelier covers the booklet end to end, or steps in at any single stage:

Layout and typographic design

Translation integration and multilingual typesetting

Print production and finishing

Packaging inserts coordinated with the booklet

QR links to film

Film inside the booklet

Abarel also produces watch films. A discreet QR code printed in the booklet can take the owner to a presentation or service film for the piece, so the unboxing continues on screen, in the maison's own voice. Print and film are authored under one roof.
