Open Face Pocket Watch Repair

Vintage and antique pocket watches make great collectibles, but they require regular specialist maintenance to keep their delicate casings and intricate movements in perfect condition. Open face pocket watches are subject to more than their fair share of wear and tear compared to the clam-shell cased Hunter styles. The porcelain faces of open face pocket watches can much more easily be damaged, which is why they were less popular during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

We are a leading antique and vintage pocket watch repair and restoration specialist. We love to revive open face pocket watches and bring them back to life. We can work with any antique delicate casing and any kind of mechanism including fusee, verge and repeater. Nothing is too complex or delicate for our Master Watchmaker.
