James Chen

Taipei, Taiwan

I brought my vintage Omega for a timing assessment before committing to a full service. The report was thorough and explained clearly what needed attention versus what could wait. Chen took the time to walk me through the timing machine readings and answer my questions. That level of transparency gave me confidence to proceed with the rebuild, which turned out excellent.

My husband's watch stopped running properly after years of daily wear. Luxecal explained that the oils had dried out and some parts showed wear. They provided a detailed quote upfront and kept me updated throughout the service. The watch came back running smoothly, and they included all the replaced parts with documentation explaining why each was necessary. Professional service from start to finish.

David Wu

Collector, Taipei

Used the collector archive service for three pieces in my collection. The photography was exceptional, and the documentation was exactly what I needed for insurance purposes. The only minor issue was the timeline ran a week longer than initially estimated, but they communicated this early and the final product was worth the wait. Would recommend for anyone needing proper documentation.

I inherited my grandfather's watch and wanted to ensure it was properly cared for. The team at Luxecal treated it with genuine respect and explained everything in language I could understand. They pointed out that while it needed service, the dial and hands were original and should be preserved. That attention to the watch's history meant a lot to me. It now runs beautifully.

Daan, Taipei

Had a timing assessment done before a long trip abroad. The service was quick, and the written report gave me peace of mind that the watch was running within acceptable parameters. The team advised me on when to schedule the next full service based on the current performance. Straightforward, professional, and reasonably priced for the value provided.

My watch was running fast, gaining about 30 seconds per day. The movement rebuild addressed the issue completely. The only reason for four stars instead of five is that I wish they had offered a loaner watch during the service period, as I was without it for nearly a month. But the quality of work was excellent, and they were transparent about pricing from the beginning.

Success Stories

Challenge

A client brought in a 1960s chronograph that had been sitting unused for years. The movement was completely seized, and the dial showed signs of moisture damage from improper storage.

Solution

Complete disassembly revealed corrosion on several pivots and a damaged mainspring. We sourced period-correct replacement parts, carefully cleaned all components, and reassembled with proper lubrication. The dial was gently cleaned without disturbing the original patina.

Result

The watch was restored to working condition while maintaining its vintage character. It now runs within 5 seconds per day across all positions. The client was particularly pleased that we preserved the dial's natural aging rather than refinishing it.

"The attention to preserving originality while ensuring proper function was exactly what I hoped for. The watch has been running reliably for six months now."

— Vintage Chronograph Owner

Challenge

A collector needed documentation for 12 watches to update insurance coverage. Previous documentation was outdated, and several watches had no service history on file.

Solution

We conducted the collector archive service for each piece, including professional photography, detailed condition assessments, and timing measurements. For watches needing service, we provided separate quotes and timelines.

Result

The client received comprehensive dossiers for each watch, suitable for insurance purposes. Three watches underwent service based on our findings. The entire project was completed over eight weeks, with regular updates throughout.

"Having professional documentation for my collection provides peace of mind. The photography alone justified the investment, and identifying which pieces needed service was invaluable."

— Watch Collector

Challenge

An everyday wearer noticed their automatic watch was stopping overnight despite full winding. Previous service elsewhere hadn't resolved the issue, and the client was frustrated.

Solution

Timing machine analysis revealed poor amplitude, indicating internal friction. Disassembly showed incorrect lubrication from the previous service and a worn escape wheel. We replaced the wheel, properly lubricated the movement, and regulated it across all positions.

Result

The watch now maintains a 38-hour power reserve and runs within 3 seconds per day. We provided documentation of what was found and corrected, giving the client confidence in the repair.

"Finally, someone took the time to properly diagnose the problem. The watch runs better than when I first bought it. Luxecal earned my trust through thorough work and clear communication."
