We regret that we can only repair watches within the UK at present.
Vintage Watch Servicing & Repair
Every vintage watch arrives with a different history and a different set of needs. We begin by assessing the watch, understanding what it requires and discussing that with you before any work begins. From routine servicing to fault finding and mechanical repair, the work is considered individually, with any options discussed with you along the way.
What Happens to Your Watch
1. Assessment
When your watch arrives, we inspect its overall condition and establish how it is running and what has brought it to us.
2. Evaluation
We investigate further to identify any faults and worn or damaged components. We then discuss our findings with you, along with the work we recommend and the likely cost, before proceeding.
3. Dismantling & Cleaning
Once agreed, the movement is carefully dismantled. Components are cleaned to remove old oils, dirt and residue before being individually inspected.
4. Servicing & Repair
Worn or damaged components are repaired or replaced where required. The movement is then reassembled and lubricated with the appropriate oils and greases.
5. Adjustment & Testing
Once running again, the movement is adjusted and tested. We check its performance over time rather than relying on a single reading at the bench.
6. Final Checks & Return
The watch is reassembled and given its final checks before we contact you to arrange its return.
