Restoration & Repair
"... the surgeon for ailing chronometers."– the Robb Report
At Master of Time, we believe the path to restoring and maintaining the accuracy of any timepiece goes far beyond the routine cleaning and lubrication that is performed by many. Our reputation and success are rooted in our old-style watchmaking skills and techniques, combined with modern technology, and an extensive inventory of spare parts.
According to Dimitrie Vicovanu, who personally handles all restorations and repairs performed at Master of Time, the age of a watch should never be an excuse for its inaccuracy. Patience, knowledge, and skill are crucial for correctly identifying all possible aspects of a movement’s inaccuracy and for finding the most long-lasting solution to correct it.
