Why Choose An Independent Watchmaker?

​

We are watch lovers first and foremost and vintage watches are our passion. All work is done start to finish by one person, Ashton, and your wishes are strictly followed. We don't routinely polish or refinish watches unless specifically requested. We also employ luminous stabilization techniques and preserve as many original components as we can. Of course, always discussing it with the customer first. 

​

How Do You Get Your Spare Parts?

​

We have a spare parts account with Swatch Group Canada which gives us access to Omega, Longines and other spare parts. We also have a network of parts suppliers around the world who can supply us with period correct, vintage spare parts for many watches. We have the ability to manufacture parts in-house and do make use of high quality, Swiss generic parts when there is no other option. 

​

How Long Will My Repair Take?

​

Each vintage watch is different and presents its own challenges. We aim to complete all repairs within 8 weeks of receipt, but it can be longer depending on the job and parts/scope of work required. 

​

How Can I Get In Touch?

​

We prefer to email due to the fact that we are a one man operation and our time is limited. Email also enables us to track track of all the requirements that our customers request. We can offer a phone consultation if it is necessary. 

​

I'm Nervous To Ship My Watch, What Should I Do?

​

We can understand that shipping an expensive item can make people nervous. We can organize insured shipping to and from our workshop with FedEx collecting your watch from your home or office. This pick up service is only available to customers in Canada.
