Need vintage watch repair done with respect for the piece? WellingTime is an independent workshop in Falmouth. We service and restore vintage Japanese and Swiss watches for private owners and for trade.

How vintage watch repair works here

  • Strip-down and clean — the movement comes apart, parts are cleaned and inspected.
  • Restore and regulate — worn parts are addressed, then the movement is put back into time.
  • Rebuild to brief — keep the original patina, or restore the case and dial look if that is what you want.
  • Bench check — the watch is tested before it leaves. Same discipline as our other service work, including a multi-day check when the job needs it.

Vintage parts can be scarce. We use genuine parts where we can. If something is discontinued we will tell you and agree a route before we spend your money.

Public and trade

Visit by appointment or send by post. Jewellers and workshops can send vintage jobs they do not want on their own bench.
