Kessler Atelier

Let’s talk specifics: the servicing, restoration and care of mechanical watches, done by hand at a single bench.

I

The bench

Every watch is opened, inspected and photographed before we quote. Nothing is replaced without a conversation first. We keep notes on every service, so your watch has a record for the next generation.

II

The movement

A full service means taking the movement apart, cleaning every part, replacing what is worn, oiling and regulating. It is slow work, and it is why a good watch keeps running for decades.

“A mechanical watch is a small machine that remembers every hand it has passed through.”

Questions

How long does a full service take?

Most mechanical watches need a few weeks for a complete service, depending on parts. You receive a written estimate and timeline before any work begins.

Do you work on vintage watches?

Vintage pieces are a large part of our bench. We source period-correct parts where we can and always explain any replacements first.

Can you replace a battery while I wait?

For most quartz watches, yes. Larger repairs are booked in for the bench.

Do you buy or sell watches?

We offer a small selection of serviced pre-owned watches in the atelier and can help you find a specific reference.
