To contact us, please send your message to administrator@hurumhorology.com.

We welcome your messages and do our best to review each one. To help us respond efficiently, please include one of the tags below in your email subject line to highlight the nature of your communication. While we may not be able to reply to every inquiry, we read and consider all communications that follow the guidelines.

We are not a valuation or authentication service. We do not appraise or authenticate watches, especially over the internet. Submissions are considered for editorial purposes only. Appraisal or authentication requests will be ignored.

The world of watches is an intellectual space, one built on commentary, reporting, critique, and research. Like others in the community, we engage with photos, videos, interviews, and articles created by fellow enthusiasts, journalists, brands, and institutions. We deeply respect the contributions that keep our community vibrant - and we are more than happy for our work to be part of that conversation.

We take copyright and attribution seriously. Any third-party material is credited to the best of our ability. Our use of third-party content is pursuant to and protected by Article 28 of the Korean Copyright Act and the Fair Use doctrine. We may not always get the citation right - we may misattribute to another person who shared your content or omit an important part of the citation. If you are the copyright holder, please reach out to us with your concern and we will attempt to rectify our mistake to your satisfaction.

We are more than happy to have our content referenced in this spirit. All original content on this site is available for reasonable reuse with proper citation. You do not need to ask for permission, though we really appreciate it when you do. You may not use our content for commercial purposes without our permission.

If you would like to submit your watch or watch-related item for coverage or review, we would be delighted to consider your offer. Please send us an email with the tag SUBMISSION OFFER first so that we can review your proposal before we arrange logistics. While we may not proceed with every submission, we genuinely appreciate all offers and we will respond to each one personally.

1. Contact Us First

   Do not send anything without prior approval. If we receive an item without prior arrangement, we are not obligated to return it. Under Korean civil law, we are not obligated to store, protect, or return any unsolicited goods unless you are in a contractual or fiduciary relationship with us. If you request that the item be returned within a reasonable timeframe (14 business days), the item may be returned to you. However, you will be solely responsible for all shipping and insurance fees incurred. Unsolicited items will be held for 14 business days after which it will be discarded, donated, or retained at our discretion. These stipulations are stated in our Terms and Conditions.

2. Please Send Details

   When proposing a submission, we ask that you attach clear photographs and written descriptions to better inform our decision. This helps us understand more about your item and streamlines communication between you and our team.

3. No Guarantees

   Submitting an offer does not guarantee publication or coverage. We reserve full editorial discretion.

4. Ownership & Return

   You remain the legal owner of your item at all times unless otherwise agreed. When you send your watch to us for review, you are conferring custodianship to us for the agreed duration. The watch will be returned to you in the exact condition in which it was received. We will cover insured shipping both ways unless you explicitly offer to cover the cost. If you are sending us a watch as a permanent gift or contribution, ownership is transferred to us upon receipt.

5. Transparency

   We disclose all submitted items by readers or brands in our Transparency Notice. We do not accept payments in exchange for coverage. We do not guarantee a positive review of your item. We do not regard a gifted watch as payment for an advertisement or favorable coverage.

6. Terms

   This page provides a general overview of what to expect when submitting an item. It does not constitute the full terms of a submission. Exact terms regarding shipping, insurance, liability, coverage, and other conditions will be provided for your review and agreement once your proposal has been accepted.

Press releases regarding new releases, events, announcements, gatherings, and other news in the watch industry are welcome. Use the tag PRESS RELEASE in the subject line of the email. Please submit your full contact details so we can reach you. A press release does not guarantee coverage by our editorial team in any way.

Hurum Horology does not accept paid advertisements or sponsor deals. We do not enter into any monetary arrangement that affects the neutrality of our content or our editorial freedom. Please do not send offers.

We do advertise merchandise we carry in our own Shop. If you are interested in collaborating on a new product or selling your products through our Shop, please send us an email with the subject tag BUSINESS.

If you wish to send us a product for review, testing, sampling, or any type of coverage, please refer to the submission guidelines above.
