Inside Our Workshop
How a Complete Watch Service Works
Follow a mechanical watch through the principal stages of a complete workshop service, from initial assessment to final quality control.
Individual procedures vary depending on the watch, movement, condition and the work you approve.
Nothing begins without your approval.
We explain the recommended work and provide a clear estimate before servicing starts.
02
Complete Disassembly
Once approved, the case is opened and the movement is removed and dismantled. Components are carefully organised for cleaning and inspection.
03
Specialist Cleaning
Movement components are cleaned in specialist solutions to remove old lubricants and fine contamination before closer examination.
04
Component Inspection
Every cleaned part is examined for wear or damage. Suitable replacement components are fitted where required and available.
05
Reassembly & Lubrication
The movement is rebuilt with controlled lubrication at the correct points, with each function checked throughout assembly.
06
Timing & Regulation
Mechanical performance is measured and regulated in multiple positions while accuracy and amplitude are monitored on professional timing equipment.
07
Sealing & Pressure Testing
The crown, case and seals are assessed. Where appropriate, the completed watch is pressure tested to verify its water-resistance performance.
08
Final Quality Control
Timekeeping, winding, power reserve and functions are monitored before your watch is prepared for collection or insured return.
Vintage specialists
Vintage Watch Restoration With Respect
Vintage watches require experience, patience and restraint. Our philosophy is always to preserve the character and integrity of the original watch wherever possible.
“We can always do more, but we can’t put back what’s been removed.”
