Restoring an antique watch is not simply repairing it: it is bringing back the life and soul that made it special in its day. In a world dominated by digital technology and immediacy, rescuing a classic watch is an act of love for tradition and craftsmanship.

The restoration process begins with an initial assessment. The condition of the mechanism, case, dial, and straps is checked. Every detail counts, because a watch that is more than 30 or 40 years old may have passed through many hands and experienced many different conditions.

Once the diagnosis has been made, the internal mechanism is cleaned. This phase requires absolute precision, as the watch is dismantled piece by piece, removing dust, grease, or corrosion that could affect its functioning.

Next comes the repair or replacement of components. In many cases, finding original parts is a challenge, but it is essential to maintain the historical authenticity of the watch. When this is not possible, custom-made parts are manufactured to respect the original aesthetics.

The next step is aesthetic restoration. The case is polished, the dial is cleaned without removing the marks of time that give it character, and the straps are replaced if necessary. The goal is not to make it look like new, but to restore its dignity and functionality.

Finally, precision and resistance tests are carried out, ensuring that the watch is not only beautiful, but also reliable.

At Rescued Watches, we understand that each restoration is a way of connecting the past and the present. That is why every watch we offer is the result of hours of dedication and respect for classic watchmaking.
