Precision Care for Treasured Timepieces

Timing assessments are typically completed within one to two business days. Movement rebuilds require three to five weeks to allow for proper parts sourcing, cleaning, assembly, and observation. Collector archive services take four to six weeks given the documentation and photography involved. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed throughout the process.

Your watch is placed on a professional timing machine that measures rate accuracy, amplitude, and beat error across multiple positions (dial up, dial down, crown up, crown down, crown left, crown right). This provides a comprehensive picture of the movement's health without requiring disassembly. You receive a detailed written report with the measurements and our recommendations for any further action, if needed.

We specialize in mechanical watches from established manufacturers. This includes vintage pieces as well as contemporary models. For highly specialized movements or those requiring proprietary tools, we will discuss the feasibility during your initial consultation. Our focus is on providing quality service rather than accepting work we cannot complete to our standards.

Replacement components are sourced from reputable suppliers who provide specification-matched parts. For vintage watches, we may need to locate NOS (new old stock) parts or work with parts suppliers specializing in older calibers. When original parts are unavailable, we discuss alternatives with you before proceeding. All replaced parts are returned to you with detailed documentation.

This service includes professional macro and standard photography, complete serial and reference number recording, detailed condition assessment, and if desired, conservation-grade servicing that preserves originality. All removed parts are catalogued, photographed, and returned in labeled archival containers. You receive a bound or digital dossier suitable for insurance documentation, resale, or personal records.

All watches are stored in a secure, climate-controlled environment. We maintain detailed intake records and provide you with a receipt for every item. Your personal information and watch details are kept confidential. For high-value pieces, we can arrange discreet collection and return services. Our workshop is equipped with modern security systems and insurance coverage appropriate to the value of timepieces in our care.
