Tbilisi, Georgia
A full watchmaking workshop at 45G Merab Kostava Street. Movement servicing, polishing, water resistance testing, crystal and battery replacement — for Swiss and mechanical watches of all kinds, including Rolex and Patek Philippe. We diagnose every watch free of charge and quote a fixed price before any work begins.
Everything below is carried out in our own workshop in Tbilisi, by watchmakers who work on these movements every day.
The movement is dismantled entirely, every component cleaned, worn parts and seals replaced, then reassembled, re-lubricated and regulated. Recommended roughly every five years.
Scratches and wear removed from steel, gold and combination cases without damaging the surface or softening the factory lines.
Pressure tested with proper equipment, with gaskets and crown seals replaced where needed. Worth doing annually, and essential before the summer.
Cracked or scratched crystals replaced in sapphire, mineral or acrylic. Water resistance is re-tested afterwards as a matter of course.
If a mechanical watch runs fast or slow, the movement is adjusted back toward factory tolerance and checked in several positions.
Original batteries fitted while you wait, with the case seal protected on opening and water resistance checked before the watch is returned.
No appointment needed. Visit the boutique at 45G Merab Kostava Street during opening hours.
We check the movement, case, accuracy and water resistance, and identify exactly what the watch needs.
You are told the cost before anything begins, with no obligation to proceed if you would rather not.
Simple work is done while you wait. A full service usually takes one to three weeks.
The lubricants inside a mechanical movement degrade over time, whether or not the watch is worn. As they thin and migrate, metal begins to wear against metal — and worn components cost considerably more to replace than a service costs to carry out.
Most manufacturers suggest a full service somewhere around every five years, though this varies by movement and by how the watch is used.
The movement is removed from the case and dismantled completely. Every component is cleaned, inspected and measured. Worn parts, gaskets and seals are replaced. The movement is then reassembled, lubricated at each friction point, regulated for accuracy across several positions, and the case pressure tested before the watch is returned.
If you would like to understand what is inside your watch before bringing it in, our journal has a plain-language guide to reading a watch movement.
Our workshop services Swiss and mechanical watches of all kinds, including Rolex and Patek Philippe, as well as quartz watches. If you are unsure whether we can help with a particular piece, bring it in or call us — the diagnostic is free either way. You can also see the houses we hold in the boutique.
The price depends entirely on the movement and what the watch actually needs, which is why we diagnose first and quote afterwards. You will always be given a fixed figure before any work begins, and you are never obliged to proceed.
