Quartz Movement (Battery Replacement)

This is a battery-operated movement, would need taken apart to overhaul the internal mechanisms. There are components in a quartz watch that need lubrication and cleaning to keep the watch running properly, and every time a battery is replaced that’s an opportunity for unwanted debris to find its way into your watch’s movement.


Automatic/Mechanical Movement

Unlike quartz movements, Automatic often referred to as “Self-Winding” harness energy through the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist as Mechanical movements uses energy from wound spring to power the watch. Much like any piece of machinery, mechanical watches require routine maintenance to keep them running smoothly.

Crystal Replacement

Term “watch crystal” refers to the clear cover over the watch face, a misleading title considering the cover is usually made out of either plastic, glass, or synthetic sapphire. Regardless of the material, a damaged cover can ruin the aesthetic of your favorite timepiece, or even render it unusable.

Our watchmakers removes the broken or scratched cover and replaces it with a new one, ensuring your watch is ready for wear and perfectly protected.

Stem & Crown Replacement

These small pieces of metal can get knocked off or go missing over the years. Our watchmaker can replace and restore the stem and crown so you can adjust your watch’s time if needed.

Pressure Test

Pressure test will confirm that your watch is still water resistant to the manufacturers specification once a repair has been carried out. This is normally required after a new battery is fitted or occasionally when other case repairs are carried out such as a replacement crystal, pusher or crown.

Watch Restoration Service

  • Band/Case Polish/Refinishing

    Your wrist comes into contact with a number of surfaces a day. To restore the original shiny look of your watch consider either polishing or replacing it to remove the dings and scratches. We generally recommend polishing it up at least once a year to keep your watch in good shape.

  • Re-plating

    Many of our favorite watches have become worn from years of use. The gold layer has come off in places showing the base metal underneath. Sometimes it is scratches from accidental contact with other metal or ceramic objects that did the damage. Even solid gold watches are not immune to scratches though there is no base metal to show through. Both watch cases and bands can now be refinished to look and perform as good as new or better through re-plating.

  • Dial Refinish

    This highly specialized service is designed to bring about the highest quality dial restoration result available – for all recognized American and Swiss brands. It's normally a 6 week process.
