An Overview of what we do:
For the past 15 years, The Village Watchmaker has specialized in the cleaning, adjusting, repair
and/or overhaul of vintage timepieces. We have a large inventory of Swiss and American watch
parts, as well as the ability to fabricate most parts.
We have turned balance staffs, made wheels, stems, and setting parts. We have repivoted
broken staffs and polished them to like-new precision.
We are a small but full service machine shop, specializing in antique mechanical restoration
and fabrication of unique replacement parts for antique items. We have three knee milling
machines - two with CNC capacity. We have three lathes, from a very tiny watchmakers lathe up
to a lathe with 20" swing and 60" between centers and a gap bed; but it is not uncommon for us
to turn balance staffs with pivots only .004" (.1mm) in diameter, and not much more than .200"
(5mm) long.
