***1 YEAR WARRANTY***FULL IMAGE ARCHIVE WITH THE WORK DONE***
In the past +25 years I have specialised working on very difficult repairs of old and complicated ENGLISH, AMERICAN and SWISS timepieces: FUSEE, VERGE, CYLINDER, DUPLEX, DETENT CHRONOMETERS, CHRONOGRAPHS, RATTRAPANTE, QUARTER AND MINUTE REPEATERS, SIMPLE or PERPETUAL CALENDARS, ANKER pocket watches, MILITARY, you name it... I remake or adjust hairsprings, poise balance wheels, replace broken jewels, make or repair balance staffs, make or replace verge staffs, cylinder staffs, make special screws on the lathe, cut and refinish wheels teeth, burnish pivots, repair fusee chains, etc. I also can do some case works: make or repair silver hinges, neck push buttons, outer case verge buttons, case springs, remove deep dents or scratches, etc.
When it comes to good timekeeping of antique watches, what matters the most is the skill of the watchmaker to restore and adjust them to a correct working condition.
On a VERGE I aim for a precision of under 5min/day and on an ANKER less than 20 seconds/day after a FULL SERVICE.
Please take a look at the PHOTOS showing some of my work from the past year and ask me any questions, I will do my best to answer quickly.
