Vintage watch repair, restoration and refurbishment

We are delighted to have our very own Master Watchmaker dedicated to the repair, restoration and refurbishment of vintage watches. We are one of the few jewellers in the UK to have our own Master Watchmaker. We also work with one of the best dial restorers in the UK, so no matter how much damage or wear and tear your vintage timepiece has seen, we can lovingly restore your vintage watch back to its former glory.

If your watch has stopped working, don’t give up hope. Our Master Watchmaker has over 25 years of experience in the value, repair and restoration of antique and vintage watches. There’s not much about watches that our Master Watchmaker doesn’t know. We can work on any brand, including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Omega, Tag Heuer, Breitling, Tudor, Longines and many more. We are experts in Swiss watch repair. In addition, any Military, Diver or limited edition vintage watch can be repaired with us. Such is our expertise, we have successfully repaired many watches where other watchmakers have failed.

We understand that sourcing original parts for repairs is vital for your vintage watch to hold its value. Where possible we will source replacement parts, but if original parts can’t be found, our Master Watchmaker is an expert in making intricate replacement parts to the highest possible standard.
