Restoration

Restoration of antique timepieces

Process

1. Contact me directly with a description of the timepiece ideally with photos of the watch's front and back.

2. Describe why you want the watch to be seen, preservation or restoration.

3. I will give you a rough estimate of the price of the work.

4. Once the watch arrives it will be analysed, if the amount of work is more than the price estimated, I will re-quote. At this stage the watch can be returned.

Costs vary depending on the complexity of the watch and the length of the restoration.

I charge a handling fee which is non-refundable and the shipping expenses are borne by the client.

For enquiries about the restoration service, please contact me at horology.peter@gmail.com
