1 Year -100% Guarantee Warranty

  • All repair and service comes with a 1 year - 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed coverage.

  • Crystals are also not covered as they will scratch, chip and crack if mishandled. 

  • Timing: Pocket Watches can vary in their ability to keep accurate time.  We do our best to return all Pocket Watches to their best time keeping levels.  The empirical fact, however, is that Pocket Watches do not keep as accurate time as modern day watches.

An estimate will be given prior to servicing Pocket Watches which require repair and additional attention:

  • Bent or broken balance staff, broken pivots, cracked or missing jewel(s), tangled or distorted hairspring, excessive wear to any and all parts

  • Unavailable replacement parts or the inability to make a replacement part.

 

  • We will try and give you the most accurate quote upfront as well as notifying you of any foreseeable issues.

  • From there we will request that you tell us how you wish to proceed.

  • We will not begin any work until we are all on the same page and in full agreement as to the cost, terms and conditions of the service and/or required repairs.

 

All replacement parts and extra services will require additional charges.
