Considered Care for Treasured Timepieces

Most mechanical watches benefit from a wellness check every 12-18 months, with a full service recommended every 3-5 years depending on usage and conditions. We assess each timepiece individually and provide guidance based on what we observe.

The movement is completely disassembled, with each component cleaned ultrasonically and inspected under magnification. Worn parts are replaced, jewels are checked for integrity, and the mainspring barrel is serviced. Reassembly follows manufacturer specifications, and the watch undergoes 48 hours of timing observation before return.

Yes. Our Full Heritage Restoration service is designed specifically for older watches that may need both mechanical attention and careful cosmetic work. We document the process thoroughly and preserve all original components, allowing you to make informed decisions about the level of intervention.

We measure critical tolerances and examine wear patterns under magnification. Parts are only replaced when wear exceeds functional specifications or when continued use would risk damage to other components. We explain our recommendations clearly before proceeding with any replacements.

Annual Wellness Checks typically take 2-3 business days. Movement Strip and Rebuild services require 3-5 weeks. Full Heritage Restorations span 8-16 weeks depending on scope. We provide timeline estimates during initial consultation and keep you informed of progress throughout.

We're happy to discuss your watch's history and current condition. An Annual Wellness Check is a good starting point if you're uncertain, as it provides a clear assessment and recommendation. You can also schedule a brief consultation to discuss your timepiece's needs before committing to a service.
