Watch Repairs
At The Watchmaker workshop, we undertake specialized repairs of high-end and contemporary watches, with absolute respect for the construction and history of each mechanism. From mechanical and automatic watches to chronographs and complex complications, every repair is carried out according to the manufacturer's specifications, using genuine spare parts and strict quality control.
With many years of experience and official partnerships/authorizations with selected brands, we offer reliable solutions for fault diagnosis, complete service, restoration of function, and aesthetic renewal, ensuring the long-term reliability and value of your watch.
Service for a Rolex Yacht-Master II with Caliber 4161—one of Rolex’s most complex movements. Regatta chronograph, mechanical memory, and absolute precision at every stage of the service.
Service on a Panerai Luminor 372, focusing on the P.3000 movement and ensuring full water resistance. No polishing, with absolute respect for the watch’s authenticity and character.
Service and restoration of a 2006 Marathon SAR WW194006, one of the last models in the original SAR series before the introduction of the GSAR.
Service on Omega Seamaster 150m Co-Axial with replacement of hands due to moisture, replacement of gaskets, and polishing of case and bracelet at The Watchmaker workshop in Thessaloniki.
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.
There are very few watches that can stand in two worlds at once: in the salon of haute horlogerie and in the field of business. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Diving Alarm Navy SEAL is one of them.
At a time when most major manufacturers are investing in heritage and elegance, Jaeger-LeCoultre dared to create a tool. Not just a 300-meter diver—but a mechanical instrument with an alarm complication, designed in collaboration with the U.S. Navy SEALs. A watch that doesn't ask for attention; it demands it.
The distinctive compressor locking system, the architecture of the in-house calibre 956, and the industrial geometry of the case combine to create a rare hybrid: haute horlogerie with a tactical identity. And when such a piece arrives at the workshop for a full service, the process is not merely technical — it is an encounter with the mechanical philosophy of one of Switzerland's most important manufacturers.
Because the Master Compressor Diving Alarm is not just another diving watch.
It is proof that complexity can be a tool.
There are watches that do not seek to attract attention—they demand it silently. The Vacheron Constantin Malte Dual Time Regulator belongs to this category. A regulator with dual time function is not simply a design choice; it is a statement of philosophy.
Vacheron Constantin reinterprets the concept of the precision clock, creating a dial where time is divided into independent displays. The experience of reading the time becomes a ritual. The minutes take center stage, the hours become discreet information, and the second time zone adds contemporary practicality.
During servicing at The Watchmaker, the calibre 1206 revealed the architecture that characterises haute horlogerie: a clean layout, high-quality finishing and mechanical logic that serves precision.
The result is not simply a serviced watch. It is the restoration of a philosophy.
Service on a Vacheron Constantin Phidias GMT, a special model of high watchmaking that combines elegant design with multi-time zone functionality. At The Watchmaker workshop, the mechanism was completely disassembled, cleaned, and serviced, and the case and integrated bracelet were restored, with the aim of returning the watch to its factory specifications in terms of function and aesthetics.
Full service on IWC IW391023 “150 Years Edition” with calibre 79320: complete disassembly, cleaning, chronograph mechanism adjustment, and case restoration at The Watchmaker workshop.
