Watchmaking interventions for pocket watches

Pocket watches often feature specific mechanisms that require specialised techniques. Depending on the condition of the watch, several types of interventions may be carried out:

Complete movement overhaul: disassembly, cleaning and lubrication of the mechanism to restore stable timekeeping.
Restoration of watch components: manufacturing or rebuilding parts such as the balance staff, winding stem or certain gear wheels.
Pivot and pivot hole repair: repositioning and fitting bushings to correct wear in the plates or bridges.
Mainspring replacement: restoration of the barrel to ensure optimal power reserve.
Escapement restoration: servicing historical systems such as the cylinder escapement to restore regular operation.
Case and hands restoration: adjustment of the case, as well as manufacturing or restoring hands suited to the style of the watch.

Each pocket watch is carefully examined to determine the necessary interventions. A detailed quotation is provided before any restoration work begins.

I welcome you to the workshop to examine your watch and recommend the most appropriate solution. Book an appointment for a personalised diagnosis.
