Pendula
Watchmaker examining a movement under loupe

Services

Three services, each matched to a different need.

From a routine check-up to a considered restoration, every service begins with an assessment and ends with a written record.

Our Approach

How each job is handled

Every service at Pendula begins at the bench before it begins on paper. We look at the watch first — movement condition, case wear, seal integrity, crystal clarity — and form a picture of what it actually needs.

That assessment shapes the conversation with the owner. Sometimes the answer is straightforward. Other times, particularly with older pieces, there are decisions to make about scope and approach. We prefer to have those conversations early, so there are no surprises part-way through a job.

01

Bench inspection on arrival

Movement, case, crystal and seals assessed. Findings noted before tools are lifted.

02

Scope and cost agreed

We explain what's needed and confirm the cost before work begins. Any additions during the job are discussed before they proceed.

03

Work carried out

Serviced using calibre-appropriate tools and lubricants. Timing verified on mechanical movements.

04

Handover with written record

Condition note provided. Restoration projects include photographs and a parts record.

Case & Crystal Renewal

  • Case polishing or brushing to agreed finish
  • Crystal fitting (mineral, sapphire or acrylic)
  • Bracelet link cleaning and adjustment

  • Gentle cosmetic work agreed in advance
  • Parts sourcing through specialist suppliers

Standards

Across all services

These practices apply to every job we take on, regardless of service level.

Condition note prepared at assessment and provided on handover. No verbal summary only.

Timing verification on mechanicals

All serviced mechanical movements checked on a timing machine before handover.

Calibre-appropriate lubricants

Correct oils and greases for each movement type. Applied in the right places and amounts.

Known-channel parts only

Replacement parts sourced through established watch parts suppliers. No unverified substitutions.

Secure handling throughout

Watches held in secure storage when not on the bench. Handled only by the assigned craftsperson.

Scope agreed before work begins

Nothing added mid-job without your agreement. Any new findings are discussed before proceeding.
