Watch Tech Services
I can service (COA - Clean, Oil, Adjust) most vintage mechanical watches, including everything from a key wind Elgin pocketwatch to a Seiko Bellmatic to a Valjoux chronograph. I can replace parts (balance staffs, mainsprings, hands, stems, crowns, etc.) on many watches, although parts availability is always an issue with vintage timepieces. At your request, I can send out metal dials and hands for refinishing. I have a huge inventory of glass and plastic crystals for vintage wristwatches. I can also fit crystals for most pocket watches although I do not have a large inventory of glass pocket watch crystals.

American made pocket watches and wristwatches including American Waltham, Aurora, Ball, Columbus, Elgin, Hamilton, Hampden, E. Howard, Illinois, Rockford, South Bend, Seth Thomas, United States Watch Company and other American makes. I can also service most Swiss made pocket watches (such as Gruen, Longines, Omega, and Zenith) although parts are harder to find for older Swiss watches. Sorry, but I no longer repair cylinder escapement pocket watches.

Schild, Benrus, Bucherer, Bulova, Buren, Certina/KF, Cortebert, Croton, Cyma-Tavannes, Doxa, Enicar, ESA, ETA, Eterna, Favre-Leuba, Felsa, Fleurier, Font, Girard-Perregaux, Gruen, Helbros, International Watch Company (IWC), Jules-Jurgenson, Landeron chronographs, LeCoultre, Lemania, Longines, Marvin, Mido, Movado, MST, Nivada-Grenchen, Omega (Constellation, Seamaster, etc.), Oris, Peseux, Pierce chronographs, PUW, Rado, Record, Revue, Rolex, Seiko (including chronographs), Swiss chronographs, Tissot, Tudor, Unitas, Universal Geneve (especially Polerouter micro-rotor automatics), Valjoux chronographs, Venus chronographs, Wittnauer, Wyler, Zenith, and Zodiac.

How long will it take?

I am employed full time in a different field and only do watch repair part time, but I generally return watches sent for service in 10 to 14 days. I invest 2 to 3 hours in every watch (more for chronographs) and it may take me a few days to acquire necessary parts. If I am experiencing a high volume of work and anticipate a longer turnaround time, I will advise you up front.

I look forward to hearing from you.
