Standards

Technical Standards Across All Services

Watchmaker-Grade Lubricants

We use calibre-specific lubricants. Vintage movements receive compounds appropriate to their age — not general-purpose substitutes.

Timing Machine Measurement

Every completed mechanical service is measured on a timing machine. Results are included in the written service record.

Water Resistance Testing

Seal condition is assessed on every service. Full pressure testing is carried out on Complete Service and Restoration pieces.

Secure Watch Storage

Every watch in the workshop is stored individually in a tray. Condition is logged on intake and referenced on return.

Written Work Records

Every service is documented. For restoration work, this record is detailed and designed to travel with the watch as part of its history.

No Scope Creep

No work beyond the agreed scope proceeds without owner approval. Every additional cost is explained before action is taken.

Not Sure Which Service You Need?

Send a short description of the watch and what you've noticed. We'll read it and suggest the most suitable option — with no obligation to proceed.
