About Us
Repairing and restoring watches since 2015
AM|PM Watch Repair is an independent watchmaking workshop specialising in the repair and servicing of a wide range of luxury watches. Our experience spans many leading brands, including Omega, Rolex, TAG Heuer, Cartier, Breitling, Seiko, Ebel, and more.
We work on both modern and vintage watches, carrying out everything from glass replacements to complete mechanical services. We have previously worked for major Swiss brands including Omega, Longines, Tissot & Hamilton, and have also served as in-house watchmakers for well-known high-street jewellers. Our expertise and experience allows us to work on almost any brand that comes in for repair with no job too small.
In addition, we are passionate about British watchmaking and collaborate with several British micro-brands, providing assembly services, warranty repairs, and technical consultation on forthcoming releases.
Our workshop is based in the popular seaside town of Troon, South Ayrshire, and we receive watches for repair from clients across the UK.
As watch enthusiasts ourselves, we fully appreciate the value, and often deep sentimental importance that watches can hold. Every watch is treated with the utmost care and respect.
Being fully independent means you deal directly with the watchmaker—no intermediaries—allowing for clear communication, transparent explanations of recommended work, and consistently tighter turnaround times, typically 3–5 weeks.
Process
Movement Service Procedure
01. Initial Inspection
On receipt of the watch, the watch head, clasp and bracelet are initially inspected for external signs of shocks or damage. The case is then carefully opened and inspected for any visible damage, moisture ingress or contaminations.
02. Disassembly
The movement is removed from the case and disassembly begins. This involves firstly removing the dial and hands, the movement parts are removed one by one and thoroughly inspected paying close attention to the wheels, jewels, pinions and pivots. Any worn parts are noted and will be replaced during the service.
03. Ultrasonic Cleaning
The disassembled movement is carefully placed into segmented cleaning baskets, and put through a multi-stage ultrasonic cleaning machine, which uses industry standard 'L&R' professional ultrasonic cleaning fluids to fully remove all old oils, greases, dirt and any contaminants. The case and bracelet are then dismantled and fully ultrasonically cleaned.
04. Mainspring Replacement
A standard part of our service includes the replacement of the mainspring. Over time mainsprings can lose their strength, shortening the watch's power reserve. Replacing one at each service guarantees a solid power supply and avoids breakages between service intervals.
05. Reassembly & Oiling
During assembly all components and wear points are oiled or greased to manufacturer specifications, the primary pivot points and jewels are oiled by industry standard Moebius lubricants. If any worn parts were found on disassembly they will now be replaced with brand new genuine manufacturer parts.
06. Regulation & Testing
The base timekeeping movement is now fully functional and requires regulation. Its timekeeping is measured using a timegrapher machine, and the watchmaker makes adjustments to get it running within manufacturer specifications. After 24 hours the watch is re-tested and further adjustments are made if necessary.
07. Power Reserve & Autowinding
The watchmaker tests the power reserve of the watch. If the watch has an automatic movement then the autowinding function is tested on our 'Elma' watch-winder, ensuring full automatic winding capabilities are being achieved.
08. Casing Up & Final Tests
The dial and hands are refitted to the movement and the entire assembly is re-cased. All gaskets are checked for wear or damage. The fully assembled watch is subject to final timing and pressure tests to ensure both accuracy and water resistance are within manufacturer tolerances.
