Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair antique pocket watches?
Yes. Antique and vintage pocket watch enquiries are suitable, although some pieces require closer inspection before the final scope is confirmed.
Can you advise on whether a pocket watch is worth restoring?
Yes. Part of the estimate process is helping the owner understand the likely scope and whether restoration is the right path.
Do you work on non-running pocket watches?
Yes. Non-running watches are common and can be assessed as part of the repair or restoration process.
