Welcome to pompe-de-montre.com, the online specialist for watch spring bars and watch pins. We are based in France and ship worldwide with ultra-fast delivery at low prices. Trading since 2011, we have built a wide catalogue covering spring bars, pins, tubular bars and every other rod that fits a watch strap.
On our site you can order spring bars, pins and every common rod found inside a watch strap. We stock a huge range of diameters and lengths. Whether you are looking for a quick-release spring bar that fits without a push pin, or a curved spring bar in a specific diameter, you will find what you need. We also sell spring bars made for Rolex watches.
If your metal bracelet is held by pins, no worries! We stock single- and double-knurled pins and tubular watch bars to repair your clasp. Some watches require straight pins, as is the case for Swatch and Flik Flak models. A pin punch is required to swap their straps, and you will find one in our tools category. These watch spare parts are also available from our partner site.
