Antique & Vintage Watch Specialists — What We Service (and What We Don't)
Vintage watches need a different touch than modern quartz. Hand-finished movements, discontinued calibers, aged dials, and thin gold cases demand a watchmaker who understands period craftsmanship. A mall kiosk is not the place for them. Our watchmaker works on Swiss and American mechanical watches from the early 1900s to today. That includes Rolex, Omega, Cartier, Patek Philippe, Longines, Hamilton, Elgin, Bulova, and Gruen. Browse our vintage watch collection to see the eras we live in. Our jewelry designer brings the same era fluency to our antique jewelry.
What vintage watch service can include:
Movement overhaul — complete disassembly, cleaning, lubrication, and reassembly of manual-wind and automatic calibers, with period-correct parts
Timing & regulation — bringing a movement back to accurate, consistent running across positions
Case restoration — refinishing brushed and polished surfaces and removing dents while keeping original case geometry
Bracelet & clasp restoration — tightening stretch, refinishing links, and repairing clasps
Dial & hands restoration — cleaning, stabilizing, and restoring dials and hands with originality in mind
What we don't do: We are a vintage and luxury mechanical watch specialist, not a general watch counter. We do not remove or add bracelet links. We do not change batteries in quartz watches. If that's what you need, we'll gladly point you to a local shop that does it well.
Why it matters: An over-restored vintage watch can lose much of its value. Every job starts with an honest evaluation. Sometimes the right answer is a movement service and nothing else. We walk you through the options and never push work your watch doesn't need. Have an heirloom ring or brooch too? See our jewelry repair and restoration services.

Vintage & Luxury Watch Repair FAQs
Do you service watches in-house or send them out?
Everything is done in-house by our watchmaker at our Meridian, ID studio. Your watch never leaves our building. That means full accountability and no risk in transit.
Which watch brands do you work on?
We service almost all mechanical watches from the early 1900s through today. That includes Rolex, Omega, Cartier, Patek Philippe, Longines, Hamilton, Elgin, Bulova, and Gruen. Bring in whatever you have, and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a good fit.
Do you remove links or change watch batteries?
No. We specialize in vintage and luxury mechanical watches. We don't offer link removal, bracelet sizing, or battery replacement. We're glad to recommend a local shop for those quick services.
How long does a vintage watch service take?
A full movement overhaul typically takes several weeks. Timing depends on the caliber and whether parts must be sourced. Case, bracelet, and dial work can add time. We give you a realistic timeline at your evaluation.
Will restoring my watch hurt its value?
It can if done carelessly. That is why we favor sympathetic restoration. We always discuss originality before touching a dial, hands, or case. You decide how far to go.
Do I need an appointment?
No, walk-ins are welcome Tuesday–Saturday. Appointments are recommended for higher-value or inherited watches.
