Watchmaking Services

  • Mechanical Service


    Full movement teardown and rebuild following professional watchmaking standards.

    Includes ultrasonic cleaning, inspection, lubrication with premium Moebius oils, reassembly, regulation, and multi-position testing.

    Your watch is returned running accurately and reliably.

  • Vintage Restoration


    Thoughtful restoration that preserves original character while improving function and appearance.

    This may include movement repair, dial and hand cleaning, case refinishing, crystal work, and sourcing period-correct parts whenever possible.

    The goal: revive the watch without erasing its story.

  • Diagnostics & Regulation


    If your watch runs fast, slow, or inconsistently, I perform full performance diagnostics using professional timing equipment.

    Includes beat error correction, amplitude analysis, and rate tuning to improve accuracy.

    Great for watches that need correction but not a full service.

  • Crystal & Case Work


    From light polishing to full refinishing, your watch case and crystal can often be dramatically improved.

    Services include acrylic polishing, crystal replacement, gasket replacement, and gentle case touch-ups that maintain originality.

    A cleaner, clearer look without over-restoring.
