For this service, we focused exclusively on the movement, leaving the case and the watch’s authenticity intact. An Annual Calendar movement that operates with precision and requires adjustment only once a year—where technical expertise meets everyday usability.

In a market where the prices of collectible watches are constantly rising and the concept of true value is becoming increasingly rare, EBEL’s vintage watches represent one of the most compelling options for the discerning collector. With a distinctive design identity, characteristic cases and dials that stand out, but above all with movements sourced from leading manufacturers such as Zenith and Lemania, EBEL offers a unique combination of aesthetics and watchmaking at prices that are hard to find in this category today. These are watches that aren’t based on hype, but on substance—and that is exactly what makes them so special.

Service on a Franck Muller Casablanca at The Watchmaker workshop in Thessaloniki. The work involved disassembling the watch, replacing the crown due to corrosion of the stem caused by a loss of water resistance, and carefully restoring the tonneau case with polishing.
Polishing a luxury watch is not always the right choice. Although it can refresh the appearance and repair damage, every polishing process removes material from the case and may alter the factory lines and edges. In collectible or vintage pieces, excessive restoration can significantly reduce their resale value. The correct approach is conservative and personalized, with respect for the history, geometry, and identity of the watch.
Marriage is not just a ceremony. It is the moment when two lives come together — and time takes on a different meaning.
That is why, in recent years, we have seen more and more people choosing a watch as a wedding gift. It is not just a simple object. It is something that is worn every day, accompanies important moments, and acquires sentimental value over the years.
At The Watchmaker in Thessaloniki, we have noticed a growing trend:
-wedding gifts for grooms,
-luxury gifts for best men,
-personal gifts for brides,
with one common element — the clock.
When combined with a premium Hirsch strap and personal engraving, the result becomes a unique, timeless symbol.
