As dealers in fine and antique watches for more than 25 years, we specialize in the restoration and refurbishing of antique and treasured timepieces. Our technicians are among the best in the world, with decades of experience in working with fine timepieces.
AF SERVICES repairs high-end mechanical movements including Patek Philippe, Vacheron & Constantin, Rolex, Breguet, Jaeger LeCoultre, Blancpain, Cartier, Panerai among many fine watch brands, including American vintage brands such as Hamilton, Illinois, Elgin and Bulova.
Complete overhauls include disassembly and cleaning of the entire movement, replacement of worn or faulty parts, and oiling and regulating of the movement to manufacturer’s specifications. Watch repairs are warrantied for one year.
We also offer the convenience of having a battery changed on quartz watches while you wait! In addition, we test water-resistant watches in a special machine to ensure that your watch maintains the integrity of the water-resistant system. We will advise if periodic maintenance is required.
We repair watch clasps, and can even size gold watch bracelets. We refinish watch cases and watch bracelets as well as ultrasonically clean them. This can be done on any brand name watch. If there’s a repair you need, we probably do it, just inquire service@aaronfaber.com.
We repair any type of wristwatch, pocketwatch or and clock, including manual wind watches, automatics, chronographs, multifunction and split chronographs, alarm, minute repeaters, and perpetual movements, to name a few.
You will be provided first with an estimate for the work, and upon your acceptance, the repair will be done. We can work with you long distance as well as in person. Contact us anytime at service@aaronfaber.com.
TIMEPIECE RESTORATIONS
AF SERVICES is proud of the radical restorations we are occasionally called on to perform on heirloom timepieces. We have taken watches with disfigured dials and even rusted movements and restored them to beautiful working order.
Restorations at this level are recommended only for special watches of great sentimental or other value, as the work is laborious. But we have often had the pleasure of clients’ exclaiming in joy over a watch or clock they had thought good only to scrap, being returned to them fully working, restored to its original style, and ready to enjoy.
