Pricing
Each restoration project is highly individual and bespoke. I take all the time necessary to discuss what’s possible, which results can be achieved and what is necessary to get there. For each project I also highlight potential risks and if it’s not possible to meet expectations I also decline restoration requests.
It is therefore not possible to provide a final price for a project before discussing it in detail. The list below should provide some guidance on the cost involved which can deviate up- and downwards depending on the complexity of the project. The prices are excluding taxes and shipping cost.
| Relume using tritium or modern pigments (charge for dial and hands) | 425€ |
| Difficult removal of old lume/previous relume in Superluminova or Tritium | +50€ |
| Disassembly/assembly of watch | +45€ |
| Dial restoration (removing stains, scratches, corrections on dial) | from 150€ |
| Detailed watch component photography + 3 print ready watch portraits using studio lights, full resolution pictures provided. See Example | +100€ |
| Hands full set repaint | 100€ |
| Hands / dial aging (only in combination with relume/repaint) | from 25€ |
| Hand relume using tritium pigment (for hands-only requests, free in combination with dial relume) | 175€ |
Disclaimer on Risk
Every restoration project exposes your watch to potential risk. Even though I never had a project outcome where a watch or component was ruined, it’s important to highlight the invovled risk factors.
Working on watches, dials and hands using different materials and applying different substances poses a risk of damage. I cannot be held responsible for potential damages or decrease in the value of your timepiece. Disassembling and assembling of watches pose risk of mechanical issues on the watch and movement for which I cannot be held responsible, I am not a certified watchmaker or service-center. If the risk involved in a restoration request outweighs the potential results, if restoration is not possible or if expectations are unrealistic, I reserve to decline requests. Results on the work carried out are highly subjective. I will make sure to discuss every detail and meet your expectation, but I cannot be held accountable if the result deviates from your expectations or has an impact on the value of your timepiece. Shipping, customs handling, and declaration are within the customers responsibility and risk. Please be aware of the declared risks and responsibilities when submitting your timepiece.
