Three ways to bring a watch back

From a simple crown swap to a full overhaul, each solution is scoped and explained before any work begins.

Our Approach

A methodical route from inspection to handover

Every solution begins the same way: a full inspection of the movement and case, followed by a plain conversation about what's needed and what it will cost. Work only proceeds once that's agreed. Along the way, findings are logged so the final condition note tells the whole story, not just a summary. Most jobs move through the bench within one to three weeks, depending on scope and whether parts need sourcing.

Crown and stem replacement work

Solution 01

Crown and Stem Replacement

A neat repair for watches with a loose, stiff, or missing crown, including a matched stem and a check of the winding action. Handy for pieces that have become awkward to set or wind.

  • Crown and stem matched to your calibre
  • Winding and setting action tested
  • Condition note included

Process: Inspect → Source matched part → Fit and test → Note and handover

Typical scope: A few working days
