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.
