Simple repairs and maintenance may be completed within 2-3 weeks, while comprehensive restorations of complex or rare timepieces can require 2-6 months or longer. We always provide clients with a realistic timeline before beginning work and keep them informed of any developments that might affect the schedule.

Do you use original parts for antique watch repairs?
Whenever possible, we prioritize the use of original period-correct parts sourced from our extensive inventory or trusted suppliers worldwide.

How often should an antique watch be serviced?
We recommend that antique mechanical watches undergo professional servicing every 3-5 years, depending on their age, condition, and frequency of use. Regular maintenance helps prevent wear and tear from compromising the movement’s integrity and can identify potential issues before they develop into more serious problems that require extensive repairs.

Is it worth repairing an antique watch?
For many collectors and enthusiasts, repairing an antique watch is undoubtedly worthwhile, both functionally and financially. Professional restoration can significantly extend a timepiece’s lifespan, preserve or enhance its value, and ensure it continues to function reliably for years to come.

How do I know if my antique watch is valuable?
The value of an antique watch depends on numerous factors, including its brand, model, age, condition, rarity, provenance, and originality.

We can recommend reputable horological appraisers or connect you with collectors and experts who can provide more detailed valuations.

What should I do if my antique watch has stopped working?
If your antique watch has stopped functioning, we recommend refraining from attempting to repair it yourself, as well-intentioned efforts can sometimes cause additional damage. Instead, carefully store the timepiece in a dry, secure location and contact our team for professional assessment. Our master watchmakers can diagnose the issue and recommend the most appropriate course of action to restore your watch to working condition.

Do you provide estimates before beginning work?

We proceed with restoration only after receiving your approval, ensuring transparency and eliminating any unexpected expenses.

How should I care for my antique watch after restoration?
After restoration, proper care is essential to maintain your antique watch’s condition and functionality. We recommend storing your timepiece in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and magnetic fields. When wearing your watch, avoid exposing it to water unless it has been specifically tested and certified as water-resistant. Regular winding according to the manufacturer’s specifications and periodic professional servicing will help ensure your antique timepiece continues to perform reliably for years to come.
