GORGEOUS WATCHES! - Check Out The Madrid with Blue Background
GORGEOUS! Where is the 6-star rating? I’m an avid watch collector, owning approximately 35 watches. Among them, four are Tufina watches, and they undoubtedly make up my top 12 favorites. Their skeleton designs are absolutely stunning, and the craftsmanship is simply exquisite. Wearing a Tufina watch is like wearing a piece of art—a testament to its classy and sophisticated nature. Also a testament to high-quality German craftsmanship. THIS is German craftsmanship. Among my collection, the most beautiful watch I own is the Tufina Madrid with the blue background. It’s truly my most beautiful watch.
I bought a TIRONA CHRONOGRAPH GOLD and a THEOREMA CASABLANCA ROSE.
Excellent masterpieces. Affordable prices. Professional packaging. Excellent customer service. Fast delivery service. I give it five stars.
Tufina Watches - are high-end and exclusive watches that will acquire more value over time.
I plan to buy another PIONIER model.
As a true watch enthusiast with over a dozen Tufina watches, I can’t say enough about the style and quality of the Tufina product. Their attention to detail and distinct styles are exceptional.
In contact with the company, such as with Elsa, if necessary, any issue is taken care of pleasantly and timely.
Never hesitate to consider Tufina for a very fine timepiece.

I originally bought a mechanical for me and a quartz for my wife, they are both beautiful watches with quick shipping from Germany, I have a Theorema and a Chicago diamonds on the way. Beautiful pieces, all 3 of them.
Loving my beautiful Tufina Buenos Aires time piece.
I purchased the Tufina Buenos Aires watch (silver with black leather band) last month, so I’ve been enjoying it for several weeks. I was impressed with what I learned about this century+ family owned/run watch company early in my discovery process. After looking at skeleton style watches for several months, and always coming back to the Bueno Aires as my favorite, I made the purchase on a Friday afternoon and the watch was out for delivery the following Monday.
The watch dial is a little larger than other watches I have (which I like about it) and provides sufficient room for the 3 sub-dials. I like having the second hand in the center sub-dial, and the dual time sub-dial is useful if you travel across time zones and works accurately. The lunar sub-dial is not “moon phase”, rather rotates between day (sun) and night (stars) and is a fun addition. The skeleton structure itself is absolutely stunning and I love that I can see the spring (heartbeat) and other gears. This is my only watch that I need to wind each day (though it has spring power for about 2 days), and like another reviewer mentioned, it is a nice morning experience to wind it up and put it on my arm, before starting my day.
I am very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend this family owned company who were very quick to answer a few questions I had after receiving the watch, and then checking in with me again a couple weeks later to see if I had any further questions about this very nice time piece. I will likely purchase another Tufina watch in the future when another one grabs my attention like the Bueno Aires has.
Actually this junk does not even deserve one star. First the watch came in with a damaged case (cheap China)
next the watch was still working, so I informed them they credited my account for $20 after bout a few months the watch was not working they asked me to run it about 8 times clockwise with the winding key they again after a few days we are back to the same cycle. I don't know where you purchase a brand new watch and it needs to be run clockwise for 8 times. Obviously like many Chinese companies they will not 1. replace the watch 2. Give me a refund. I am out of $500.
Always stick to the older brand names from reputable Swiss/Japanese makers and don't waste any money on fly by night brands, as this one. They are mostly Chinese companies that are masquerading as German or Swiss companies.
Everyone be careful of specials like buy one and get another for half price that in itself is a RED flag. Anyone can have a office in Germany and state that the watch is from Germany, this is absolute trash and that's where I put it, in a trash can, will never buy stupid brands like these in future.
My experience with Tufina, specifically with Elsa, has been exceptional . She, as a representative of the Tufina family, has been pleasant and immediately responsive to any issues and resolved them quickly kindly and pleasantly. Many Cudos to her and the entire Tufina family for an excellent product as well.
As elderly man, and a true watchaholic, if I wore a Tufina watch everyday for 2 weeks, it would be a different watch daily. That should speak for itself.

Tufina has many styles and I decided on the Florida Diamond Pioneer. The watch arrived fast, well and professionally packaged. When I took it out of the box I was blown away by its stunning black appearance and gold trimming. I could not for the life of me figure out how to set the day dial. I emailed and within 15 minutes Elsa replied with how to use the function. Time (no pun) will tell but so far I love this beautiful watch.
I’m a watch collector, and I own a total of 36 watches. Among them, three are Tufina watches, and I absolutely adore them. They’re incredibly beautiful and simply captivating to look at. I recently purchased “The Madrid,” and it might just be the most stunning watch in my entire collection. If you’re interested, take a look at “The Madrid” with the blue background. It will make your eyes water, it is so beautiful.
I would say if you want the watches just for the looks then tufina is ok, the watches are not worth more than $200 to $250 that also I would give it just for the looks, if I have to spend more than that I would rather get a movado or some well known brand. Their return policy also sucks. Since there is a restocking fees. So if you really like the watch then and only then you should buy it because returning is a big hassle. So be a 💯 % sure if you are ordering. Oh yes and for some of the watches setting the date and time is a hassle and yes cheap material. I bought three of the watches and I am stuck with it.
I’ve bought multiple watch from this company and every single one brings me more joy than the one prior. I can’t recommend this company enough. Don’t give these a second thought. It’ll be perfect and better than you can expect.
I’d have given 6 stars but it’d only let me leave 5.
These are excellent watches, very stylish. I have purchased several watches from them and have no complaints about the watches and the way they handle the purchases is very smooth.
Whatever u do, dont buy this scam watch for more then a 50bucks, it has china movement, materials, everything.. its alibaba watch, its last minute offer has lasted 10 years! They should be in jail tbh, i bought one and it was a wind up watch, it broke in 3 days, and they didint answer or replace it lol, its a effing conwatchcompany

Casey, your words mean the world to us. As a family-owned business, it is essential to foster strong relationships with our customers. You are a true gentleman and a wonderful father. Enjoy your watches.
I've purchased 2 Tufina watches within the last 10 months. The first was a full mechanical skeleton type from the Theorema Casablanca collection, the rose gold. I bought that one in April '25. I was so pleased with it that I decided to buy another one in early January '26. This time I bought one from the Pionier New York collection, the gold and black. I am very pleased with both watches.
There was a hiccup in Memphis during shipping of the New York watch because our country's tariff situation is so dynamic that our U.S. customs personnel can't keep up with the rules and rates. It sat in Memphis for a few days until I reached out to Tufina. They were aware of the issue. Within 30 minutes of my emailing Tufina, I received an email from FedEx stating that the package was moving again! I even received a personal email from the owner explaining the situation and apologizing for the delay.
Really impressed with that.
I may get another Tufina in the next couple of years.

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share this thoughtful and detailed feedback. It truly means a great deal to us.
We are honored that you chose Tufina not once, but twice. Knowing that your first experience led you to return is the highest compliment we can receive.
We also appreciate your understanding regarding the temporary shipping delay. The current customs and tariff situation can indeed be unpredictable, and we appreciate your patience. We’re glad we were able to resolve the issue quickly and keep you informed every step of the way.
As a family-owned watchmaking business, personal service is something we take very seriously, and your words reaffirm why we do what we do.
Thank you again for your trust and support. We would be delighted to welcome you back whenever you decide it’s time for your next Tufina.

The way the company handled my transaction including delayed delivery (which was NOT their fault) was unbelievably incredible! Their personal service and IMMEDIATE replies to email with no nonsense, truthful answers to questions was EXCEPTIONAL! The best part was receiving the watch! It's absolutely GORGEOUS! I will be buying more from Tufina! In fact, I have already ordered my second watch and look forward to receiving it. (I also have my eyes on a few others). I HIGHLY recommend Tufina! I give them a ***SIX STAR*** rating out of five stars! They give 1950's service (when you could trust the word of the people you were doing business with)! I'm a retired jeweler and gemologist and was in business more that 50 years. I'm 82 now and remember those times, and I highly recommend Tufina!!!

Tufina has excellent products and customer service. I've purchased several watches for them and have been totally satisfied with the transactions and product. I would recommend purchasing Tufina products. Also, Marsida has been a jewel.
