Complete care for modern, vintage, and antique timepieces.

Every watch has a story, whether it’s a modern precision tool, a cherished vintage model, or an antique heirloom passed down through generations.
At Trillium Watch Service, our Swiss-trained watchmakers specialize in bringing each watch back to life with the techniques, tools, and respect it deserves.

We offer three levels of full repair service depending on the age and complexity of your timepiece.

Modern Watch Repair

A full mechanical repair (often called a complete service or overhaul) is the most thorough care your watch can receive. It restores the movement to factory standards and ensures long-term reliability.

Here’s what it includes, step by step:

Diagnosis – Careful inspection of the watch to identify visible issues and check accuracy.
Disassembly – The movement is completely taken apart, down to the smallest screw.
Cleaning – Each component is cleaned in professional watchmaking machines to remove old oils, dirt, and residue.
Replacement of worn parts – Damaged or worn components are replaced with original or approved parts.
Reassembly & Lubrication – The movement is reassembled with the correct oils applied to reduce friction and wear.
Regulation & Adjustment – The watch is adjusted to ensure accuracy and reliable timekeeping.
Case & Bracelet Refurbishment (optional) – The case and bracelet can be cleaned or polished upon request.
Water Resistance Renewal – All seals and gaskets are replaced and the watch is pressure-tested (if applicable).
Final Quality Control – The watch is monitored over several days to confirm precision, power reserve, and performance.

The result is a watch that functions like new and is protected for years to come.

Vintage Watch Restoration

Vintage watches carry history, character, and often sentimental value. Servicing them requires a different approach than modern watches, with special care to preserve originality and delicate components.

Here’s what a full vintage repair involves:

Diagnosis – Careful inspection of the movement and case, identifying issues while respecting the watch’s age and originality.
Disassembly – The movement is taken apart piece by piece, with extra attention to fragile or rare components.
Cleaning – Each part is ultrasonically cleaned to remove old oils and dirt, restoring proper function.
Parts sourcing or restoration – Since many parts are no longer produced, we source genuine vintage parts when possible or carefully restore existing ones.
Reassembly & Lubrication – The movement is rebuilt using precise watch oils to reduce friction and protect aging materials.
Regulation & Adjustment – The watch is adjusted for the best possible accuracy, keeping in mind the tolerance limits of vintage mechanisms.
Dial & Hands Preservation – Extra care is taken not to disturb the original patina, unless restoration is specifically requested.
Case & Crystal Care – Cases and crystals may be gently polished or restored, preserving the vintage look rather than replacing it with a modern finish.
Final Quality Control – The watch is tested for accuracy, amplitude, and power reserve, ensuring reliability while maintaining authenticity.

The goal of a vintage repair is not only to restore function, but also to respect the watch’s history and originality, so it can continue to be worn and appreciated for generations.

Antique Watch Restoration

A Watch restoration goes beyond regular servicing. it is the art of bringing a timepiece back as close as possible to its original condition, while preserving its authenticity and value. This process is often chosen for watches that have suffered severe damage, neglect, or that require a complete makeover.

Here’s what a full restoration may involve:

Assessment – Careful evaluation of the watch’s condition, including the movement, dial, hands, case, and bracelet.
Disassembly – Complete dismantling of the watch to separate all components for inspection and treatment.
Movement Overhaul – Full cleaning, lubrication, and replacement of worn or damaged parts, ensuring proper function.
Dial & Hands Restoration – Retouching or refinishing to bring back the original appearance, while respecting the watch’s heritage.
Case & Bracelet Refurbishment – Laser welding, polishing, or re-plating to repair scratches, dents, or worn gold layers.
Crystal & Crown Replacement – New components fitted when necessary to restore both aesthetics and water resistance.
Final Assembly – The restored parts are carefully reassembled, adjusted, and tested.
Quality Control – Rigorous checks of accuracy, power reserve, and appearance to ensure the watch is as close as possible to its original state.

The goal of restoration is not only to make a watch function again, but to revive its beauty and craftsmanship, allowing it to be treasured for decades to come.
