Watch servicing
As a full-service independent watch dealer, we handle our own servicing, repairs, refinishing and authentication in-house, and offer the same care for your own watch.
What’s involved
A full service, in our own atelier
A full service starts with the movement. Our watchmakers take it apart, clean every part in our Elma Elmasolvex, then oil and rebuild it using Swiss-approved consumables only. It is then regulated and checked on our Witschi timegrapher for rate, amplitude and beat error, so it leaves the bench running as it should.
Pressure testing on our Witschi ProofMaster, polishing and repairs can all be done at the same time, and refinishing is discounted when booked with a service. Every service comes with a 2-year warranty on our work.

Measures rate, amplitude and beat error, so your movement leaves the bench running as it should.
Witschi
ProofMaster
Dry-tests water resistance under pressure and vacuum, so no water goes near the movement.
Elma
Elmasolvex
Cleans every part of the movement in Swiss-approved solutions before it is oiled and rebuilt.
Bergeon
Swiss tooling
The right Swiss-made tool for every screw, caseback and bracelet.
Also in our atelier: a Pioneer Polimaxx II polishing machine, an Elettrolaser MS 3.5 laser welder and a brand-accredited lapping and belt machine, one of the few in the Midlands. See inside our atelier
