Mechanical Clock Repair
Issaquah Greater Seattle
What we repair
Most mechanical clocks stop working not because they are "broken", but because they have not been properly serviced for many years.
Common problems we see include:
• Worn pivot holes requiring bushing work
• Old hardened oil causing friction
• Metal wear from dry operation
• Bent or worn pivots
• Gear wear
• Escapement wear
• Suspension spring damage
• Worn mainsprings
• Out-of-adjustment strike mechanisms
Mechanical clocks require periodic cleaning and lubrication. Without service, old oil turns into abrasive residue that causes metal to wear against metal. Over time this creates excessive wear and causes the clock to stop or run inaccurately.
Our repair process
Every clock we service goes through a complete evaluation process.
Typical overhaul includes:
• Full movement removal from the case
• Complete disassembly of the movement
• Ultrasonic cleaning of all components
• Inspection of pivots and gear teeth
• Bushing work where wear exists
• Pivot polishing
• Gear repair when necessary
• Replacement of worn components
• Proper clock oil lubrication
• Reassembly and adjustment
We use professional horological lubricants designed specifically for mechanical clocks to ensure long-term reliability.
We provide professional repair and maintenance for mechanical clocks of many types, including:
• Mantel clocks
• Wall clocks
• Cuckoo clocks
• Shelf clocks
• Grandfather clocks
• Vintage and antique
mechanical clocks
We service both spring-driven and weight-driven movements, including cable-driven and chain-driven systems.
Testing and regulation
Movement replacement
After repair, every clock is tested before release.
Testing includes:
• Timekeeping accuracy checks
• Beat adjustment
• Strike synchronization
• Power reserve testing
• Multi-day operation testing
Only after passing testing do we release the clock to the customer.
In some cases, original movements may be too worn or damaged for economical repair.
If this happens:
We discuss options with you before proceeding.
Options may include:
• Movement restoration
• Movement replacement
• Custom solution based on clock type
We always prioritize restoration when appropriate, especially for antique clocks.

watch Repair

Mechanical & quartz
Service Process
Quartz Watches
Mechanical and automatic watch service involves complete movement disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning of all components, inspection of pivots, gears, and escapement, and replacement of worn parts when necessary. Vintage watches may require restoration of original components rather than replacement.
After cleaning, the movement is professionally reassembled, lubricated with specialized horological oils, and adjusted to restore proper mechanical performance.
We repair quartz watches including movement replacement, crystal replacement, crown and stem repair, gasket replacement, bracelet repair, and electrical diagnostics. When repair is not practical, complete quartz movement replacement is often the most reliable solution.
We also replace worn external components such as hands, crystals, crowns, and seals to restore proper function and appearance.
Modern, Luxury
Testing, Regulation
After assembly, watches undergo timing regulation and operational testing. This includes accuracy checks, power reserve observation, positional timing checks, and water resistance testing when applicable.
Final adjustments are performed to ensure reliable performance before the watch is returned to the customer.
Bring your watch to our shop for a professional evaluation. Our technicians will inspect it, identify the issue, and contact you with recommended repair options. You can then decide whether to proceed with the repair or pick up your watch without service.
We service modern and luxury watches as well as vintage mechanical timepieces. Our workshop regularly works with brands such as Rolex, Omega, Longines, Raymond Weil, Tissot, Hamilton, Tag Heuer, Seiko, Citizen, Bulova, and other Swiss and Japanese manufacturers.

Antique Restoration
Issaquah Greater Seattle
What we repair
Restoration Process
We restore a wide range of antique mechanical pieces such as
• Clocks
• Watches
• Music Boxes
• Barometers
• Other spring-driven mechanical objects
Our work focuses on preserving original mechanisms whenever possible while restoring proper and reliable operation.
Restoration begins with detailed inspection and mechanical disassembly. Components are cleaned, worn pivots and bushings are corrected, damaged mechanical parts are repaired or fabricated when necessary, and original mechanisms are preserved whenever possible.
Each mechanism is then reassembled, properly lubricated with correct oils, adjusted, and calibrated to restore stable and reliable operation.
Cases & Components
We restore wooden cases, metal housings, dials, hands, hinges, lids, decorative hardware, and structural elements of antique mechanical objects. Whenever possible, we preserve original components rather than replace them to maintain authenticity and historical character.
Work may include structural repair, hardware restoration, dial conservation, music box comb repair, and careful cosmetic improvements appropriate to the age of the piece.
Evaluation Process
Bring your antique mechanical item or vintage object to our shop for a professional evaluation. Our technicians will inspect the mechanism, identify the issue, and contact you with recommended restoration options and estimated costs. You can then decide whether to proceed with the restoration or pick up your item without service.

Battery Replacement
Issaquah Greater Seattle
We replace batteries in quartz watches of all brands and styles. Most watch batteries typically last between 1 to 3 years depending on the movement, features, and battery type.
Our battery service includes proper installation, basic function testing, and resealing of the case when applicable to help maintain reliability.
Standard Battery
Specialty Batteries
Some watches use specialty lithium batteries or rechargeable power cells such as Eco-Drive and other solar storage cells, designed to last approximately 5–10 years. These systems often require special ordering and careful installation due to their design and sealing requirements.
Because of the complexity of these power cells and the service involved, replacement typically costs more than standard battery service.
