Specializing in the service and repair of vintage pocket and wrist watches, including everything from railroad grade pocket watches to the Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph. I offer the most basic service the owner of a mechanical watch needs: the Clean, Oil, and Adjust (COA). I also offer a full range of repairs as well as case polishing, and crystal fitting.

Beginning of TheWatchTech. I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, which happened to be the headquarters for the Gruen Watch Company. I began collecting pocket watches in 1996 when I received a gorgeous 1920s Gruen pocket watch from my wife. I took that watch and my Grandfather’s Railroad Grade Illinois Bunn Special to the local Master Watchmaker, who gave each a COA and installed new mainsprings. I immediately took an interest in the service and repair end of the business, and decided to learn how to service the watches I wanted to collect.

I learned (with invaluable help from two local watchmakers) how to dismantle, clean, repair and lubricate mechanical watches. I also joined the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (www.nawcc.org). I am now able to service and repair a wide range of timepieces including pocket watches, wristwatches, calendar watches, automatics, micro-rotor automatics, wrist alarms, and chronographs, along with a few vintage balance wheel electric and quartz watches. I have also received formal training in watch repair from the American Watch and Clockmakers Institute (www.awci.com), including a special course exclusively on the Valjoux 7750 chronograph.
