What Sets Us Apart
These distinctive features reflect our commitment to proper watchmaking practice.
Dial Restoration Capability
Many repair services cannot handle dial work in-house. We have the equipment and skill to restore dials affected by moisture, discoloration, or lacquer deterioration. This allows us to preserve original dials rather than replacing them unnecessarily.
Movement Photography
We document the restoration process with detailed photographs of your movement before, during, and after servicing. This visual record shows the condition we received the watch in and demonstrates the work performed. Many clients appreciate having this documentation.
Proper Parts Sourcing
When replacement parts are needed, we source appropriate components rather than using generic alternatives. For vintage watches, this sometimes requires patience as we locate the right parts. We discuss options with you if original parts are unavailable.
Timing Analysis
We test timekeeping performance across multiple positions using professional equipment. The watch is regulated to meet accuracy standards appropriate for its age and movement type. You receive the timing data with your completed service.
Recognition
Our work is recognized through client relationships and professional standing.
