What We Offer
-
$200 + Parts - This encompasses the broadest range of wristwatches and usually the least amount of parts. Crown wound watches from the 1920’s into the late 1970’s.
-
$250 + Parts - Automatic can be a flexible term in the category, nonetheless they all have more parts than the manual wind. The vintage era between the 1920’s to the late 1970’s gave birth to the modern automatic winding system, however, there were many different iterations of automatic winding before the standard 360 degree spinning rotor we see today.
-
$300 + Parts - The modern era of mechanical movements, and still the most widely used today, were birthed in the 1980’s as automatics. The recent resurgence in popularity of the vintage aesthetic required a movement to match, often a caliber born as an automatic then modified to be crown wound only. These modern movements are much thinner, more delicate, & require highly specialized oils, cleansing and rinsing chemicals, and methods of cleaning.

Starting at $400 + Parts - Luxury watches and high-end mechanical chronographs take a level of expertise that should be reserved strictly for professionals. The level of finishing and extremely tight tolerances between parts in these watches means that the smallest misstep can be a big problem. We take extra special care in regards to these watches to ensure that your investment remains in the pristine condition and excellent time keeping you paid for.
We offer a range of services overhauls to properly maintain any kind of mechanical watch. Based around the age and the winding system, if it is a chronograph or a luxury timepiece requiring special tools and care. From an 1860’s Sterling Silver cased pocket watch, a 1969 Omega Speedmaster, a 1980 Piaget Polo, or a Seiko Prospex Diver from 2025, each watch has a unique service procedure to follow and is therefore priced differently.
The Purpose
Preserve Performance
Over time, lubricants inside a mechanical watch deteriorate, migrate, and lose effectiveness. Regular servicing helps maintain proper function and consistent timekeeping.
The Process
Complete Disassembly
The movement is removed from the case and carefully disassembled so each component can be individually inspected and serviced.
Prevent Wear
As lubrication breaks down, friction between moving components increases. Servicing helps reduce unnecessary wear before it becomes permanent damage.
Cleaning & Inspection
Movement components are thoroughly cleaned to remove degraded oils, residue, and contamination. Each part is then inspected for wear, damage, or anything that may affect performance.
Protect Components
A mechanical movement is made up of dozens or even hundreds of precisely fitted parts. Routine maintenance helps protect those components from contamination, corrosion, and premature failure..
Assembly & Lubrication
The movement is carefully reassembled using the correct lubricants in the proper locations and quantities. Worn or damaged components are replaced or repaired as necessary.
Extend Longevity
A properly maintained mechanical watch can remain reliable for generations. Regular service helps preserve both the movement and the long-term integrity of the watch.
Regulation & Testing
Once assembled, the movement is adjusted for rate, amplitude, and beat accuracy. The completed watch is then tested over an extended period to confirm proper operation and reliability before being returned to the client.
