Chronodeco

Company Description

Custom watches, watch repair and restoration.I am a retired metallurgical engineer and a full time watchmaker now. I have always been interested in mechanical wristwatches and chronographs and had used them frequently in some of my past pursuits of racing motorcycles, ***** sailplanes and racing sailboats back in the 60s and 70s. Several years ago I started collecting older mechanical watches and chronographs and decided to learn more about how they work and how to repair them.Early on, I bought a book on watch repair as a hobby to get started. This was later followed by some 20 + different and much more complex watch and chronograph repair books plus a lot of advice from experienced watchmakers. Now, after over 1000 restorations of vintage watches and chronographs, I feel quite competent working on mechanical watches. I was also able to use my metallurgical background to develop a way to refinish and replate worn or corroded watch cases. I now have numerous collectors that send their prized vintage watches for repair from all over the world.
