How a restoration works

Each restoration starts with a detailed assessment and consultation. The watchmaker then disassembles, examines and documents every component. Original parts and finishes are retained where possible, and only what is necessary is restored so the watch keeps both its function and its authenticity. Original parts are sourced when available, and custom components are made when they are not.

Visiting and booking

The workshop is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and is closed on weekends. You can book a repair consultation or drop a watch in at the boutique. The business states that it uses genuine parts and industry-approved methods, offers secure return options, gives a transparent assessment and price before work begins, and provides a warranty on repairs.
