Restoration Questions
What kinds of heirloom watches can you assess?
Silva Watch Restoration can assess many mechanical and vintage wristwatches, including watches that no longer run. Share any details you know about the watch, its history, and previous repairs to help guide the initial conversation.
Should I wind a watch that has stopped?
Avoid forcing the crown or repeatedly winding a watch that feels stiff or has stopped. Older parts may be delicate. Keep it safely stored and ask a watchmaker to assess its condition before use.
Can you preserve the watch’s original appearance?
Restoration options depend on the watch’s condition and available parts. The assessment can help identify ways to address function while considering original components and visible character. Discuss your priorities before work begins.
How long does watch restoration take?
Timing depends on the watch’s condition, the work required, and whether suitable parts are available. After examining the watch, Silva Watch Restoration can discuss the likely scope and timing for the proposed restoration.
What should I bring when requesting an assessment?
Bring the watch and any relevant records, packaging, or notes about its history and past service. Details such as when it last ran or what changed can help the watchmaker understand its condition.
