Movement servicing with full teardown
Every automatic and manual caliber gets stripped, cleaned, and re-lubricated. We check amplitude, beat error, and power reserve before the case goes back together.
From movement breakdowns to restoration case studies, our library of technical articles helps you understand what makes a timepiece worth keeping. Written by the same team that services watches on our benches, these guides cover the practical side of collecting.
Every automatic and manual caliber gets stripped, cleaned, and re-lubricated. We check amplitude, beat error, and power reserve before the case goes back together.
Pressure testing at 3, 5, or 10 bar depending on the case design. Gaskets are replaced when dry or cracked, so your watch survives real life, not just the bench.
We compare case stamps, movement signatures, and dial printing against reference archives. You get a written report with photos of every identifying detail.
Leather, rubber, NATO, or steel — we size, fit, and finish straps to your wrist. Spring bars are checked for tension so nothing slips mid-wear.
Each piece in our catalog is chosen for movement quality, case finishing, and long-term serviceability. We list the caliber, lug width, and crystal type on every product page.
Plain-language articles on winding habits, storage, and service intervals. No jargon walls — just the steps that keep a mechanical watch accurate for decades.
Whether it is a vintage piece in need of a full service or a modern automatic that simply needs a new strap, our bench is open. Send us a message with the make, model, and what you have noticed, and we will reply with a clear assessment and a suggested path forward.
Horology Notes
What to expect when your automatic watch goes in for a full service: demagnetizing, ultrasonic cleaning, fresh lubrication, and timing checks across six positions.
Leather, steel, rubber, or nylon — each changes the character of the watch. A quick comparison of durability, comfort, and how each ages over daily wear.
3 ATM is not the same as 30 meters of diving depth. Learn what the numbers actually mean before you take your piece anywhere near water.
Dial refinishing, replacement hands, and aftermarket crowns are common. Here is how our team verifies originality before a vintage watch enters the collection.
A short list of independent makers delivering solid movements and honest finishing at prices that make sense for everyday wear.
