On the more detailed technical side of watch making, I have made click springs and movement bridges. I have re-pivoted a broken balance staff, changing broken balance staff, making new balance staff and general  fault finding on watches that are not keeping time.

Other things including general watch case polishing and restoration - all work have done in the most sympathetic to the original watch to keep the authenticity.
