Watchmaker's bench with movement parts

Three services, clearly defined

A standard movement service, a case and crystal refresh, or a full antique restoration — each with published pricing and a considered approach.

How we approach every piece

Each watch that comes to the workshop is treated as an individual object with its own requirements. Before we commit to any scope of work, we spend time understanding what the piece needs — not what a standard procedure would apply to a category of watch.

For straightforward servicing, the process is familiar and we can give a clear indication of what to expect. For refinishing and restoration, the approach is more calibrated — we discuss what kind of result the owner is looking for and make sure the work we do moves toward that specific outcome.

Quality assurance is built into the process: timing machine checks, condition photography, and written scope for any project beyond standard scope. No watch leaves the workshop without a final review.

Assessment First

Each piece is assessed before work begins. Complex projects receive a written assessment note.

Agreement Before Work

Nothing proceeds without the owner's approval. Any cost change is discussed before it occurs.

Objective Testing

All serviced movements are checked on a timing machine for rate, amplitude, and beat error.

Regular Updates

Key-stage updates throughout the job. You are never left wondering where things stand.

What applies to every job we take on

Intake Photography

Every piece is photographed at intake. This creates an unambiguous record of condition before work begins — protecting both owner and workshop.

Appropriate Lubricants

Lubricants are selected by movement type, calibre, and local conditions. We do not use a single grade across all work.

Secure Storage

All pieces in our care are stored in locked, climate-managed conditions. Higher-value items are logged individually.

Post-Service Rate Check

All movement work is verified on a timegrapher before the watch is returned — confirming that regulation is within acceptable range.

No Surprises on Cost

Any deviation from the agreed price is raised with the owner before work continues. You will never be presented with an unexpected charge at collection.

Debrief at Collection

On collection, we go through any notable findings and offer basic care guidance relevant to the piece — not a generic handout, but notes for that watch specifically.
