Watch- Clock Cases


We restore any type of antique watch and clock cases. Missing or damaged parts can be reproduced using traditional techniques. Glasses and crystals can be replaced using original stocks or formed & cut to fit. Locks and cover springs for hunters can be made.

We can also execute handmade cases to accommodate antique movements. Decoration includes hand engraving and engine turning (guillochage).
