Services Shaped by
Your Timepiece's Needs

From initial assessment to long-term conservation — each service is designed around a specific watchcare challenge.

Home

Our Approach

Every watch that enters our workshop follows a considered path. We begin by listening — understanding the symptoms, history, and your relationship with the piece. From there, we conduct a structured assessment before proposing any work. This approach means that whether your watch requires a straightforward timing adjustment or an extensive conservation project, the same careful methodology applies.

We work across three core service areas, each addressing a distinct category of horological need. These can be combined when a watch calls for multiple forms of attention, and we are always transparent about what is and is not included in each scope of work.

Watch diagnostic with timing machine

Diagnostic Assessment

A thorough evaluation for watches exhibiting unusual behavior — inconsistent timekeeping, abnormal sounds, or physical damage of unknown extent. The assessment includes external inspection, caseback opening, movement examination under magnification, and timing measurement. You receive a written diagnostic report outlining findings, recommended actions, and estimated costs for any suggested work. This service allows you to make informed decisions about your timepiece without committing to a full service.

Water Damage Recovery

Specialized treatment for watches exposed to moisture, whether through submersion, condensation, or gasket failure. The process involves immediate movement extraction, thorough drying under controlled conditions, ultrasonic cleaning of all affected components, lubrication replacement, and comprehensive gasket renewal. Dial and hands are assessed for discoloration and treated where recoverable. This service is time-sensitive — earlier intervention generally yields more favourable outcomes.

Vintage watch with conservation tools

Vintage Preservation

A conservation-focused service for antique and collectible timepieces where maintaining originality is the priority. Unlike standard restoration, this approach uses reversible techniques and period-appropriate materials wherever possible. Work includes careful movement servicing with original-specification lubricants, crystal preservation or sympathetic replacement, and case stabilization without aggressive polishing. Each project begins with a detailed consultation about the owner's preservation philosophy.
