Three ways we can help with your watch

From a first look to a full case restoration, each service is scoped around what your watch actually needs.

Our Approach

How we scope a service

Every visit begins the same way: a careful look at the movement or case before anything is promised. From there, the right service depends on what we find — sometimes a simple inspection is all that's needed, other times a watch calls for delicate adjustment work or a longer restoration.

We aim to match the service to the watch, not the other way around, and to keep you informed with plain notes at each stage. Typical timelines range from same-day for an inspection to a few weeks for restoration work, depending on scope.

Opening a watch case for inspection

Case Back Opening and Inspection

A short diagnostic visit to open the case, look over the movement, and give an honest read on what a watch needs before any larger work. Useful for owners unsure whether a service is due. The findings come as a plain written note, and there is no pressure to go further.

  • Movement opened and examined under magnification
  • Written note detailing condition and findings
  • No obligation to proceed with further work

Process: Book a visit → Case opened → Written note prepared → Findings discussed

Typical duration: Same day

Balance wheel adjustment work

Hairspring and Balance Adjustment

A delicate service to true a bent hairspring and steady the balance, restoring even timekeeping to a mechanical watch. Suited to pieces that run erratically after a knock or long storage. Includes a rate check across several positions.

  • Hairspring trued under magnification
  • Balance wheel steadied and checked
  • Rate verified across multiple positions

Process: Diagnostic first → Adjustment work → Multi-position rate check → Results shared

Typical duration: One to two weeks

Restoring a worn vintage watch case

Heritage Case Restoration

A measured restoration of scratched, dented, or worn cases that keeps original lines wherever possible, discussed carefully so nothing is over-polished. A fitting choice for older watches whose cases carry the marks of decades. The owner sees a plan before any metal is touched.

  • Case condition assessed and plan proposed
  • Restraint applied to preserve original lines
  • Plan approved before work begins

Process: Assessment → Plan proposed → Owner approval → Restoration carried out

Typical duration: Two to three weeks
