DIAL RESTORIATION

The dial of a watch allows us to tell the time and track the date. Dial repair and restoration are performed for a variety of reasons, depending on the watch’s condition and needs.
A frequent issue occurs when water or moisture penetrates the watch due to a compromised seal, leading to corrosion, deposits on the hands and indices, and in some cases, detachment of numerals or the logo.

  • Restoration of indices, inscriptions, markers, and dial detailing

WHEN A DIAL RESTORATION IS REQUIRED:

Working on a watch dial - the very ‘face’ of the timepiece - demands exceptional precision and professional expertise, as well as a deep understanding of the movement’s construction. This ensures the safety of high-value chronometers and prevents any unintended damage during restoration.
At our service center, dial restoration is performed using state-of-the-art industrial equipment. In select cases, we also apply the skills of professional artisans and artists to hand-decorate and restore damaged dials, ensuring a flawless finish.
