Watch repair
Vintage and pocket watch repair.
Older watches and pocket watches can often run again, but parts can be scarce and every movement is different. We assess the watch first and tell you honestly what it needs, what parts are available, and what we recommend.
When you might need it.
- An inherited watch or pocket watch has stopped
- The crystal is cracked or missing
- The watch runs but loses or gains a lot of time
- The case, hinge, or bow is damaged
What’s involved.
Assessment
We open and inspect the movement and case, and check what parts would be needed.
Your decision
You get a clear explanation and price before any work starts, including if a repair isn't practical.
Repair
Agreed work is carried out with care to keep the watch's original parts where possible.
Preliminary pricing.
Your preliminary price range is free and comes from your photos. The final price is confirmed after we inspect the piece in hand, and no work starts until you approve it.
What affects the price
- The movement and its condition
- Parts availability
- Case and crystal repairs
- How original you want the watch kept
If you’re mailing it in
Wrap the watch so the crystal and hands are protected, and don't try to wind a watch that feels stuck.
Start with photos. Don’t ship anything until we’ve agreed on shipping and insurance with you.
