Restoration

The workshop restores mechanical watches, wristwatches and pocket watches alike. Every intervention is carried out entirely at the workshop, without any subcontracting, and is covered by a detailed quotation, drawn up line by line.

The range of interventions

  1. Complete service

    from €230

    Simple movement: complete disassembly, cleaning, lubrication and regulation on the timegrapher in five positions. The price depends on the movement’s complexity, its condition and the parts required.

  2. Full restoration

    by quotation

    Tired, stopped or incomplete movement: parts remade at the bench, complete restoration of the movement and the case.

  3. Part making

    by quotation

    Staff, stem, spring, case element: made to measure when the supply no longer exists.

  4. Measured polishing

    by quotation

    By hand, preserving the original edges and chamfers. Never over-polished.

  5. Crystal, gaskets and crown

    by quotation

    Replacement of the crystal, gaskets or crown, static water-resistance testing.

The final quotation is drawn up once the case has been opened, line by line. No work is undertaken without your written agreement.

Radium watches

The workshop does not work on watches whose dial or hands are luminous with radium, a radioactive material used until the early 1960s. Treating it requires facilities that only a few specialised workshops possess. If in doubt, simply send a photograph of your watch: the workshop will reply, and point you in the right direction if need be.

Book a diagnostic appointment

A 20-minute initial assessment: your watch is examined under magnification, and you receive initial advice, a price range and an estimated timescale. The meeting place will be confirmed directly with you. Choose a time slot on the appointment page.
