Snyper was founded in Geneva in 2008 by a group of watch enthusiasts with a shared military background, led by designer Jean-François Ruchonnet — himself a former sniper in the French military before turning to watch design, where he created the TAG Heuer Monaco V4 and Breguet's Double Tourbillon. That personal history shaped Snyper's entire identity: watches styled after modern sniper rifles and their optics, with the brand's signature "hard point," a fitting on the side of the case designed to attach interchangeable modules such as a laser pointer or a compact lighter — features unlike anything else in Swiss watchmaking at the time.
At WATCHOYSTER, we carry a selection of certified pre-owned Snyper watches inspected in Switzerland. Every piece has been physically examined by our in-house certified watchmaker, verified against The Watch Register, and documented before listing. What you see reflects the actual condition of the watch, with no exceptions.
Snyper occupies a genuinely distinctive niche, built around real military design language and functional modularity rather than styling alone. The pre-owned market offers access to earlier Snyper One and Snyper Two references at a significant discount to current retail. Buying a certified second-hand Snyper from a verified dealer in Switzerland means every piece has been assessed for movement accuracy, module attachment function and case condition before listing. Our 12-month warranty applies to every watch in our catalogue, and our 14-day return policy covers any case where the watch does not correspond to its description.
All Snyper watches in our catalogue are available for immediate purchase, with insured worldwide delivery. Standard delivery across Switzerland takes 2 to 3 business days. For clients who prefer to inspect the watch in person before completing the purchase, our appointment-only lounge in the Geneva Free Zone is available by prior arrangement.
Financing is available on selected pre-owned Snyper references for clients based in Switzerland, with terms from 3 to 24 months, no interest and no administrative fees. The full purchase price is divided into equal monthly instalments, with a minimum first payment of 25%. A decision takes under three minutes at checkout, with no documentation required beyond standard order information.
