Crafting Excellence
Servicing, case refinishing, repairs, and water resistance testing services are available from our state-of-the-art workshop. We ensure that all timepieces are efficiently cleaned, as we examine each part in detail.
The Perfect Part
Due to the restriction of replacement parts by watch manufacturers, many watch repairers are unable to service all models of watch. At Time Repair Services, we have the skill and equipment to manufacture our own parts. This allows us to provide a comprehensive service that other watchmakers are unable to. However, we always strive to use genuine parts for replacement if they are available.
Care and Attention
Watches and timepieces are often passed down through generations, so we ensure that you are fully informed throughout the servicing process. No matter the work that is required, our team take great care to treat your watch as if it were their own.
