Expert Pocket Watch Repair

Expert Pocket Watch Restoration & Servicing

Pocket watch restoration is one of our defining specialities. Our Master Watchmaker with over 30 years of experience handles every component with precision, from simple mechanisms to complex Haute Horlogerie movements and verge, fusee, and repeater systems. We expertly service all brands, including Waltham, Elgin, and Jaeger Le Coultre. Your treasured timepiece is in the hands of a true expert.

Restoring an antique pocket watch – some of which are over 150 years old – requires not just skill, but a deep knowledge of historical horological engineering. To ensure the integrity of your vintage timepiece, our Master Watchmaker is often required to hand-fabricate precision components from scratch. This level of meticulous, in-house craft is why we are trusted with complex work on rare and antique movements.

With over 30 years of experience in movement restoration, our Master Watchmaker’s expertise covers all antique and vintage pocket watches. As one of the UK’s select few jewellers with a fully in-house workshop, we guarantee that repair to your cherished timepiece is never outsourced; all servicing and intricate work is performed in-house by our expert. Whether you require a routine service or a complete overhaul, you can be confident we will handle your watch with care and precision. This expertise extends to all case styles – whether Hunter, Half-Hunter, or open-face – and we are specialists in both Swiss and English Lever pocket watches. We also partner with one of the best specialist dial restorers in the UK to ensure any dial refurbishment work is carried out to an exceptionally high standard.
