Let Me Expertly Repair Your Watch.
Why should you send your watch to us?
This answer could take a whole page by itself but I will try to keep it short.
Up until the 1970's watchmakers were in every jewelry store in the country and jewelry stores were on just about every major street corner. When the quartz watch was introduced the need for watchmakers was drastically reduced. Jewelers at that time no longer wanted a watchmaker on staff. Because of this the total number of watchmakers in the U.S. dwindled to just a couple thousand. Since then the number has gotten below 1000 watchmakers in the U.S. who have real schooling and work full time.
In most places in the U.S. you can no longer find a watchmaker who actually knows what they are doing and that is local to you. So you have a choice.
1) You can find someone close by and take a chance they are not a "Watch Breaker" instead of a Watchmaker/Horologist,
2) Ask your local jeweler to send it off to someone they know and pay a mark up on the cost of repair (usually 2 times their cost) or
3) You can send it to me and know that your watch will be repaired properly according to industry standards and specifications.

Crystal Replacement
Including plastic, rock glass, mineral glass and sapphire, custom cut crystals, anti-reflective coated watch crystals.
If your wrist watch has a flat or domed round "mineral glass" crystal now, a sapphire crystal may be available that will fit your watch and a sapphire crystal will give you a virtually scratch resistant crystal. Some solar watches cannot have a sapphire crystal installed. If your watch has a plastic crystal in it now it cannot be replaced with a sapphire crystal.

We use only the best batteries on the market. All sizes are on hand and fresh.
You can be sure the battery we install in your watch is the freshest available. Our batteries are replaced monthly.

Dial Refinishing
If the paint is coming off your dial or the luminosity is no longer working or if you just want a different color(s) on the dial then refinishing the dial will make it look just like new and give your watch that look you desire.
Hand Replacement
Maybe the hands on your watch are bent, maybe the luminosity is no longer working on your watch hands, maybe the hands are damaged by moisture or maybe you just want a different style or color so you can see them better. We can replace the hands or repaint the hands and repaint the luminous so they glow again.
Retrofitting
Retrofitting is when a quartz movement is used to replace amechanical movement in the watch. This requires a good deal of research to find a quartz movement that will work correctly in the case and with the dial and hands.
Custom Component Making and Replacement
Such as balance staffs, stems, dials, and more are made for your watch when the genuine original and after market components are no longer available.
Restorations
Watches that have extensive problems or damage can be restored to like new condition.

Our Customers are saying:
Absolutely the best watch repair service I have found- and I've tried most of them, I think, as I collect often obscure watches that can be problematic to have serviced. They are not only helpful and responsive, but they have a unique combination of craftsmanship and professionalism that is very difficult to find. They have tackled multiple watches for me, needing a variety of cosmetic and mechanical repairs- in every instance the results looked like factory workmanship. It doesn't get better than that!!!!

Thanks, Kristi - they sure enough did deliver already. Looks great and ticking away. Many thanks to you and Ken. I went back out on slick snowy roads dodging careless drivers sliding into each other to retrieve it from the post office.
I'll be contacting you about my Dad's Croton Nevada Grechen watch sometime soon.
Stay warm. Mike Foster

Vaurnet watch:
Got the watch the other day and I am again amazed! I figured that re-luming the small hands & tiny markers on the watch would look good, but also figured if I looked closely, I'd be able to tell it wasn't quite factory perfect....... was I wrong on that!!!
It absolutely looks factory-perfect, and the little devil glows all night now, so when I'm traveling, I'm all set. (Not to mention that the mechanism now runs perfectly).
Whoever worked on this watch is as much an artisan as a technician- just wanted to relay my appreciation......
Thanks, Mark
P.S. In 5 years or so, when the battery starts to go, you'll be seeing this watch again- I don't think I'd trust anyone else to work on it now.....same for my other watchzq, come to that! :-)
