Modern and Vintage Watch Repair
We
repair most modern watches. By definition, Modern watches are typically
less than 20 years old, having movements that range from basic quartz
and battery driven watches, to complex mechanical movements, including
manual and automatic wind, power reserve, and chronographs, to
ultra-complicated models such as perpetual calendars and minute
repeaters. We do not work on tourbillon movements, which can only be
found in ultra expensive timepieces.
We
repair most vintage watches. By definition, vintage watches are
typically more than 20 years old. However, from a watchmaker’s
perspective, there are certain milestones in watchmaking history, where
the evolution of movement design made it necessary to further
distinguish how a timepiece is categorized in the industry. Basically,
any timepiece manufactured before WWI is considered antique. Vintage
watches therefor range from 1914 – 1969, just before the introduction of
the first Quartz Movement watch by Seiko. Most vintage watch movements
tend to be mechanical, with a manual wind feature, but as time
progressed, automatic wind movements became more common over the manual
winds.
