Collection: Antique watch restoration service and repair

Antique watches need careful handling, proper diagnosis and experienced repair work. At WatchRepair.com.sg, we provide professional antique watch restoration service and repair in Singapore for vintage mechanical, automatic and quartz watches.

Whether your antique watch has stopped, runs too fast or too slow, has moisture inside, needs movement repair, or requires careful restoration, our watch repairer can inspect the watch and advise the most suitable repair option.

Careful Restoration for Antique & Vintage Watches

Many antique watches are no longer supported by standard parts supply. The movement may have dried oil, worn pivots, rust, broken springs, damaged jewels, loose hands or dial ageing. A proper inspection is important before any repair is carried out.

Our restoration approach focuses on improving the working condition of the watch while preserving its original character as much as possible.

Vintage Mechanical Watch Restoration

Antique mechanical watches require more than a simple adjustment when the movement is dirty, dry or worn. A proper service may include movement inspection, cleaning, lubrication, reassembly, timing adjustment and final testing.

If parts are worn or broken, we will check availability and advise before proceeding. Some antique watches may need special handling because original parts can be difficult to source.

Vintage Quartz Watch Repair

Older quartz watches can suffer from battery leakage, weak contact points, circuit problems, coil damage or movement wear. Leaving a dead battery inside for too long can cause corrosion and may damage the movement.

For vintage quartz watches, we check the battery condition, inspect for leakage, clean the contacts where required and advise if movement repair or replacement is needed.

Round Watch Glass Replacement Only

If your antique watch has cracked or scratched glass, we can check whether it is suitable for replacement. Please note that we only replace round watch glass. We do not replace square, rectangular, tonneau or special-shaped watch glass.

Clear Repair Advice

Restoration vs Normal Watch Service

A normal watch service is usually suitable for watches that are still in good condition and only need cleaning, oiling and timing adjustment. Antique watch restoration can be more complex because the watch may have worn parts, rust, old repair marks or discontinued components.

Before work begins, we inspect the condition and explain whether the watch needs basic servicing, movement repair, glass replacement, battery leakage cleaning or a more detailed restoration.
