Do you fix watches??
This is, unquestionably, our most frequently asked question. A close second is: "Do you fix clocks?" The answer to both is an emphatic YES! We repair clocks dating from the 1600's to modern; watches from antique pockets to contemporary quartz. Even Accutrons! Unfortunately though, we don't repair Timex or "disposable" type watches. Normally we do not repair alarm clocks, simply for economic reasons.

My watch isn't running. Did I overwind it?Why does it cost so much to clean a watch? Don't you just blow out the dust?Do analog quartz watches ever need more than a battery change to keep them going?I have a Timex watch. It cost me $29.95. It tells time as good as my friend's Seiko that cost him $350.00. What's the difference between them?How often should I wind my watch?It seems like my watch gains time, especially towards the end of the day.
