Our Workflow

Documented repair steps from intake to final timing test

Each timepiece starts with magnified diagnostics and a written condition report. We then provide a fixed estimate and expected timeline before opening the case.

After servicing, every watch is run through timing and wear simulation checks so you receive reliable performance data alongside your completed repair.

  • Detailed diagnostics

    Issue reports include movement health, seal condition, and worn components.

  • Parts quality checks

    Only tested components and compatible gaskets are installed.

  • Timing verification

    Final rate tests confirm daily accuracy across multiple positions.

Service Timeline

Know what to expect before you drop off your watch

Most battery services are completed within two business days. Mechanical tune-ups typically require one to two weeks depending on parts availability.

For restoration projects, we provide milestone updates at intake, parts approval, assembly, and final calibration so you always know the current status.
