The Tools Behind Every Repair
Precision work needs precision equipment. These are the machines and hand tools our watchmakers rely on to diagnose, open, clean, lubricate and reassemble your watch — and to confirm it runs right before it goes back on your wrist.
Testing Machines & Instruments
Timegrapher
Measures a mechanical movement in real time: its rate deviation (seconds gained or lost per day), its amplitude (how far the balance wheel swings) and its beat error. It shows us how healthy a watch is before we open it, and confirms the result after service.
Winding & Testing Machine
Automates winding, date setting and time setting through the crown, with programmable torque and rotation speed for both mechanical and automatic movements.
Waterproofing & Pressure Testers
Pneumatic and hydraulic chambers that test the integrity of the case and its water resistance without ever exposing the movement to actual water.
Ultrasonic & Steam Cleaners
High-frequency sound waves and hot, high-pressure steam safely clean disassembled movement plates, bridges and metal bracelets.
Disassembly & Bench Tools
Case Openers
Jaxa-style wrenches, case knives and suction and friction balls designed to open screw-down, snap-on and Oyster-style waterproof case backs without scratching the finish.
Precision Screwdrivers, 0.6–2.0 mm
Hardened steel, swivel-head screwdrivers with replaceable, finely sharpened blades that won’t strip the tiny screws inside a movement.
Fine Tweezers
Non-magnetic stainless-steel and brass tweezers, plus carbon-steel tips for the finest work, to handle fragile hairsprings and jewels safely.
Hand Removers & Hand Pressers
Presto-style hand lifters and specialized levers pull the hands off their pinions without gouging the dial; matching pressers fit them back in place.
Movement Holders
Universal and brand-specific holders in brass and synthetic materials that clamp the bare movement securely while we work on it.
Cannon Pinion Pullers & Staking Sets
Dedicated pullers remove friction-fit cannon pinions cleanly, and vintage staking sets let us repair jewels and gear pivots with precision.
Cleaning, Lubrication & Assembly
Loupes & Microscopes
Eye loupes from 4x to 15x and digital bench microscopes for inspecting gear teeth, escapements and dial finishing up close.
Rodico Cleaning Putty
A specialized tacky compound that lifts loose dust, fingerprints and residual oil from dials and bridges.
Oilers & Micro-Lubricants
Synthetic watch oils and greases of different viscosities, applied in microscopic amounts with micro-tip oilers from dedicated oil pots.
Silicone Grease & O-Ring Tools
Silicone grease is brushed onto case-back gaskets with synthetic brushes, and O-ring tools fit each seal, so the case keeps its water resistance.
Rubber Dust Blowers & Pegwood
Hand blowers clear away fine lint, and soft pegwood is shaped into custom cleaning sticks for pivot holes and other tight spots.
