What people bring in Ask about yours
Reviewers come in when a watch has stopped, and the battery is changed and the case closed up securely.

Bracelets, links and broken metal straps can be looked at over the counter, so bring yours and ask.

There are watches on the counter as well as repairs, and one reviewer came in for one and left with two.
Prices and repair times are not published online, so please ask. Any photograph shown here is illustrative.
Watches that lose time or stop altogether are opened up and worked on. Older mechanical pieces are welcome, including ones that have been in the family for years.
Water in the case is a job we will look at honestly. Some watches can be put right, some need a different answer, and we will tell you which after we have seen it.
Metal straps, links and fittings are handled at the counter. Bring the watch and any loose links with you and ask.
Watches are sold here alongside the repair work, with straps, links and parts kept behind the counter.
This business does not publish prices or repair times, so none have been invented here. Ring 020 8665 9642 and ask.

Ashif repaired and restored it beautifully. He and his family are dedicated to this disappearing skill. Ashif was polite and professional, and really loved working on such an old watch.
