The Antique Watch Company ® will service or restore almost any quality mechanical watch. We have been collecting watch movements (both functional and non-functional) and various other watch parts for over 39 years and pride ourselves in our inventory. The watch is then wound and placed in our safe for observation for several days.īecause these watches are no longer being produced, parts are obviously very difficult to come by. Finally, the case is cleaned and buffed and the watch movement is placed back into its case. The watch is then reassembled, oiled, a new mainspring is installed, and it is adjusted for time. When we service an antique watch, we completely disassemble it and run each part through an ultrasonic cleaning process. This allows us to make invisible repairs while keeping the contours of the case crisp. We can now fill small dents and scratches in most watch case materials quickly and precisely using the material that the case is made of as the filler (weld). This just loosens the accumulated dirt, and allows it to settle back into the movement often causing more damage than good. The ability to do laser welding has VASTLY increased our case restoration abilities. Many watchmakers today, when servicing a watch, simply remove the movement from its case and place it, in its entirety, in a cleaning solution. Rusty has been repairing antique watches for over 40 years, and specializes in complicated pocket watch and wristwatch movements. All mechanical work is done on our premises in our shop, by the store owner and watchmaker, Rusty Tuggle. Send us your antique watch for a cleaning and service (COA), repair, or for complete restoration. You know that keeping it clean and lubricated will keep parts from rusting and wearing out so your watch will run correctly indefinitely. If you are an antique pocket watch or wristwatch collector, you know the importance of keeping your watches serviced. Where else could you buy an 80 year old watch and be GUARANTEED it will run like it did the day it was made? Unlike auction sites, or most of the other antique watch sites on the With The Antique Watch Company ®, you may rest assured that your antique watch will arrive in working order. All of our antique wrist and pocket watches are restored to “like new” condition, whenever possible, WITHOUT altering the authenticity, original appearance, or quality of the watch.
When you buy an antique watch, either wristwatch or pocket watch, from us at the Antique Watch Company ®, it’s like going into a store, 50…60…100+ years ago when that watch would have been sold new.
