What We Offer

Three Services, One Standard

Each service is scoped, assessed, and priced before any work begins. The approach is the same across all three.

Our Methodology

How Every Job Is Handled

Regardless of the service, every watch that comes to Escapement follows the same path. It is assessed with photographs before any work begins. A written scope is prepared and shared with the owner. Work starts only after that scope is approved.

During the job — particularly for restorations — we communicate at each meaningful stage. If something unexpected turns up, we stop and report rather than proceed. When a part needs sourcing, options are presented before anything is ordered.

At completion, the watch is checked for correct function before handover. All records are retained. This is not a complicated process, but it is one we apply consistently.

Workshop Standards

Applied Across Every Service

Secure Storage

All watches are stored securely when not being worked on. High-value items are held separately.

Calibrated Timing Equipment

Movement timing is verified with a calibrated timegrapher. Results are documented and available on request.

Full Job Documentation

Photographic and written records maintained for every job. These can be shared with the owner on request.

Personal Handling Throughout

The same watchmaker handles each watch from intake to completion — not a different person at each stage.

No Work Without Approval

Scope is always confirmed in writing before any repair begins. This applies to all three services without exception.

Post-Repair Function Verification

Winding, setting, and timekeeping are confirmed before handover. We do not consider a job complete until the function check passes.
