Watch Restoration — FAQs

Details on our sympathetic restorations for vintage, antique and heirloom timepieces.

+ What does watch restoration involve?
Restoration is tailored to each watch and may include: complete movement overhaul, replacement or fabrication of worn parts, dial/hand conservation, crystal replacement, case & bracelet sympathetic refinishing, new seals and final regulation/pressure testing. Our goal is to preserve originality while restoring function and presentation.
+ Do you restore vintage and antique watches?
Yes—vintage and antique pieces are a specialty. We use non-invasive methods, keep original finishes where possible, and can custom-make obsolete components to period spec when parts aren’t available.
+ How long does a watch restoration take?
Timelines vary by brand, age and parts availability. Typical projects run 2–6 weeks; complex or rare pieces may require longer if parts need to be sourced or fabricated. We’ll provide an estimate after inspection.
+ Will restoration affect the value of my watch?
Proper, well-documented restoration usually supports value by improving reliability and appearance. We avoid unnecessary replacement of original components and always discuss options that best balance authenticity and condition.
+ Do you use original parts for restorations?
Wherever possible we fit genuine OEM parts. If discontinued, we source period-correct parts or manufacture custom replacements to original specification. All work is carried out by certified horologists.
+ Can you restore water-damaged watches?
Yes—time is critical. We disassemble, clean and de-rust affected parts, replace compromised components, fit new seals, and pressure-test where appropriate. Bring water-exposed watches to us as soon as possible.
+ Do I need an appointment for a restoration service?
Walk-ins are welcome for assessment. For rare or high-value pieces, booking is recommended so we can allocate adequate consultation time and review options with you.
+ How much does watch restoration cost?
Costs depend on condition and scope. As a guide, movement overhauls typically start from £180–£300; cosmetic and parts work are quoted individually. We always provide a fixed estimate before proceeding.
+ Where is your workshop located?
Our workshop is inside Piccadilly Circus Underground Station (Unit 9), Central London—just off the main ticket hall. Easy access for commuters and visitors.
