Railroad Pocket Watch Repair

A large number of pocket watch collectors focus on railroad watches because they are such high grade timepieces. Railroad pocket watches are specialised timepieces that were fundamental to the timely running of rail services for many years. The great train disaster in America in 1891 was due to a faulty timepiece. Since then, all American railroads adopted higher standard timepieces, which is why they are highly collectible today.

We understand the high value and prestige of the railroad pocket watch warrants exceptional care and attention. A railroad watch is defined as one used on the railroads that met the general time service requirements that were in effect at the time it was built. It became known as “railroad standard.” Our Master Watchmaker is dedicated to bringing the same high standard to any vintage railroad pocket watch repair.
