Movement overhauls, crystal work, stem and crown repairs, and vintage restoration.
Mechanical Work
Cleaning, lubrication, adjustment, and testing help a mechanical watch run reliably.

Parts availability can decide whether a repair is straightforward, expensive, slow, or simply not sensible.
I’ll explain the likely cost and result. You decide what the watch is worth to you.
Pricing & Timing
You’ll receive an estimate and expected timing after inspection. Hard-to-find parts or unexpected wear may add time.
Approval first: no repairs begin without your approval.
Inspection fees: the preliminary review is complimentary. See the Inspection & Estimate Policy for the $50 standard physical inspection, how it is credited to approved repairs, and any separately approved detailed restoration evaluation.
Changes discussed: if the job materially changes, I stop and contact you.
Describe the problem. You don’t need to name the repair.
Start With the WatchIndependent authentication
Online photographic authentication is $100. Physical/in-person authentication is $300. Both include a documented report, a defined examination scope, findings and limitations. Pre-purchase reviews are available.
Explore authenticationPlan your service
See indicative costs, what is included and estimated workshop times. For each watch, no additional repair deposit is required below $500; at $500 or more, a 30% advance is due upon quote acceptance. The threshold uses the approved service and parts subtotal after discounts, excluding tax and shipping. Approved special-order parts and outside work may require an advance even below $500. The required advance is the greater of the standard deposit or those committed costs, not both added together. Inspection payments and other verified payments are credited toward the advance and final total. Work starts after approval and any required advance; the remaining balance is due before return. Approval never automatically charges you.
