Watchmaker for Groningen
You don't have to drive one hundred and eighty kilometers. The watch goes up and down assuredly.
From Groningen to the studio
Groningen is about one hundred and eighty kilometers from Weesp — a day's journey there and back, where the work itself takes weeks.
That is why almost everything from the north goes by post. With the shipping service you will receive a sturdy watch box and a shipping label; the watch is insured against loss and damage round trip, with a higher insurance value on request.
You will be notified once the watch has arrived, and you can track its progress online.
What happens to your watch
Every watch begins with an investigation. We open the case, look at the movement under the microscope and determine what is needed. Only then will you receive a quote — nothing will be done that you haven't said yes to.
During a service, the timepiece is completely disassembled, cleaned, re-oiled and adjusted. Worn parts are replaced or, in the case of older watches for which no longer available, they are custom made. The case is then closed and the watch is tested, including for water resistance.
The complete working method can be found on the Working Method page, and the rates can be found on Rates.
Frequently asked questions
Do you also work for customers outside the Randstad?
Yes. Where the watch comes from makes no difference to the work; the shipping service is there for those distances where there is no point in dropping by.
Is my watch insured during shipping?
Yes. You will receive a sturdy watch box and a shipping label; the watch is insured against loss and damage up to 5000 euros, and a higher insurance value is possible on request. Everything is on the Shipping Service page.
How long does it take?
That depends on what is needed and the parts. A service usually takes several weeks; a restoration that requires parts to be made, longer. You will receive an indication once the investigation has been completed, and you can track the status of your repair online.
