Our Methodology

How We Approach Every Watch

Regardless of which service you are considering, every watch that comes to us passes through the same initial stage: a careful inspection under magnification, followed by a written account of what we found. That document is yours to keep whether you proceed with a service or not.

From there, the work takes the form that best suits the piece. A watch in otherwise sound condition may need only cleaning, lubrication, and a timing adjustment. One with dulled hands and a worn dial may benefit from cosmetic attention without touching the movement. And an older piece that has sat unworn for years may call for a full disassembly and rebuild.

We describe the most suitable path in plain terms and discuss it with you. The final decision is always yours.

Initial Inspection

Every watch assessed under magnification before any work or cost is discussed.

Written Findings

A clear written record of the assessment, shared with you before any commitment.

Agreed Scope

Work proceeds only after you agree the scope and cost in writing.

Verified Result

Completed work tested on a timing machine, with results recorded in your service documentation.

Service 02

Hand & Dial Service

A delicate cosmetic service focused on the watch face, gently cleaning safe-to-treat dials and refreshing or replacing tired hands.

  • Hand refinishing or replacement where needed

Across All Services

Workshop Standards That Apply to Every Watch

Secure Handling & Storage

Watches in our care are stored in a locked, access-controlled environment. They are never left unattended or mixed with other pieces.

Timing Machine Verification

Every serviced movement is verified on a timing machine across multiple positions. The result is recorded and provided with the service documentation.

Written Documentation

A written assessment precedes all work. A written service record accompanies collection. You leave with a clear account of what was done.

Labour Warranty

Service work is covered by a warranty on our labour. If a workmanship issue arises within the covered period, we address it at no additional charge.

Professional-Grade Materials

We use watchmaker-specification lubricants and cleaning solutions. These are not general-purpose products; they are formulated for the tolerances inside a mechanical movement.

No Obligation After Assessment

You may collect your watch after the assessment with no further obligation. We will explain what we found, and the decision to proceed rests entirely with you.
