Fine Watch Repair and Restoration

A challenge worthy of the finest watchmaking exper

A challenge worthy of the finest watchmaking expertise: this Patek Philippe 3970E is currently undergoing a complex restoration in our Atelier.

Every single component—from the movement to the case, pushers, and even the smallest screws—was covered in rust. Our watchmaker is meticulously cleaning, treating, and restoring each part, ensuring the original architecture and finishes are fully preserved.

Excessively worn or damaged components have been rebuilt with respect for traditional craftsmanship, particularly in the decorative finishing: black polishing, satin finishing, and bevelling. Each surface is gradually regaining its original brilliance and perfection.

A long and meticulous process—because a Patek Philippe deserves nothing less than restoration excellence.

Precision in progress: this Richard Mille RM 005-F

Precision in progress: this Richard Mille RM 005-FM in Titanium, powered by the Vaucher 6200 movement, has undergone a meticulous restoration with us.

The movement showed clear signs of oxidation, compromising both its aesthetics and performance. Our watchmaker is in the process of carefully cleaning and de-rusting each component, ensuring the integrity of the calibre is fully preserved. Every step is taken with precision, maintaining the high standards that define Richard Mille’s engineering excellence.

Soon, this RM 005-FM will be back to its full potential—where innovation meets uncompromising craftsmanship.

Our pop-up workshop was a huge success! We had an amazing time repairing exclusive watches for our clients and friends in Taiwan ☀️

It wasn't an easy adventure though: with roughly 100kg of luggages, many fragiles machines and dozens of rare watches, a trip like this one requires months of careful planning - but it is 1000% worth it! 🤩

Looking forward to our next trips around the globe 🌍

The art of pivot planting 🔧

When restoring a cherished timepiece, precision is everything. One of the most delicate and transformative techniques we undertake is pivot planting—a meticulous process that breathes new life into worn or damaged pivot holes within a movement plate.

🔍 Before: Over time, friction, dust and wear can enlarge the pivot holes, causing instability and reduced accuracy. These imperfections compromise the smooth ticking rhythm every watch enthusiast treasures.

🛠️ The Process: Using specialized tools, we carefully bore out the worn section and expertly install a new jewel or metal pivot sleeve, perfectly aligned for optimal balance. This step demands micrometric precision and years of mastery.

✨ After: The restored pivot returns the movement to its intended performance, reducing friction and ensuring the accuracy and longevity that defines true craftsmanship. The transformation is subtle but vital—often the difference between a ticking memory and a dormant keepsake.

We take pride in preserving not just the function but the soul of each timepiece entrusted to us. ⏱️

What a great way to start the new year! This Ulyss

What a great way to start the new year! This Ulysse Nardin Chronomètre Rattrapante has regained its former glory after a complete restoration in our Atelier.

Upon arrival, the movement was functional but showed several technical issues: the barrel spring was slipping inside its drum, the oils were dry, and the split-seconds hand was misaligned with the chronograph hand. Additionally, the split-seconds pusher tube had torn out of the caseband, and the movement bore significant marks from previous interventions.

Our watchmaker @luca_crtn replaced the barrel spring, performed a full service, straightened the twisted anchor rod, and carefully retightened the tubes. Both the split-seconds and time-setting pushers were finely adjusted, restoring this chronometer’s precision and full functionality.

A tribute to craftsmanship and the preservation of horological heritage. Happy New Year everyone!

🔍 Plongez au cœur de l’art horloger
Le pivotage est une étape cruciale qui exige une précision absolue et une maîtrise parfaite du geste.

Ici, il s’agit de pivoter un nouvel axe de balancier, opération utile lorsqu’un axe est cassé. La pièce est façonnée et ajustée avec une minutie extrême avant le roulage, dans le respect des techniques traditionnelles transmises depuis des générations.

Ce savoir-faire d’exception incarne l’âme de l’horlogerie artisanale et son engagement envers la perfection mécanique.

En deux exemplaires s’il-vous-plaît : la Alain

En deux exemplaires s’il-vous-plaît : la Alain Delon Quartz, une montre qui reflète les aventures hors cinéma de l’acteur de renom.

Avec son design épuré et son mouvement quartz, elle incarne la simplicité sophistiquée chère à l’acteur légendaire. Une pièce rare, témoin d’un temps où l’horlogerie s’aventurait avec audace dans l’ère moderne, à tort ou à raison.

En tout cas, on apprécie toujours ce genre de découverte ici à l’Atelier!

Elegance in its purest form: the Audemars Piguet e

Elegance in its purest form: the Audemars Piguet extra-thin Marquise, powered by the also very small AP 2080 movement. This exquisite timepiece exemplifies the maison’s dedication to precision and artistry, blending mastery with timeless design.

A symbol of understated luxury, the Marquise is a testament to Audemars Piguet’s heritage of crafting watches that transcend generations. Every detail, from its intricate movement to its elegant case, reflects the pinnacle of haute horlogerie.
