Services and Repairs

We hold a comprehensive stock range of specialist parts and materials however, on occasion, we may need to order components specifically for individual repairs and services and this will increase the lead time.
In some instances, it may be necessary to send your watch to an alternative accredited workshop or the manufacturers themselves, as it may be more cost effective or technically more appropriate, whereby we are completely reliant upon their timescales.
