Measuring Precious Time with Beautifully Restored Horologic Masterpieces

Classic Swiss watches hold their value even after taking inflation, and in some cases they are worth millions of pounds. However, watches in that price range are very rare and their intrinsic value is calculated on the precious metal or stones used in the case, bezel dial, and/or bracelet.

These working pieces of art may not be worn everyday, but it works perfectly well in that scenario, but in most cases, the insurance companies would frown upon such endeavors, and insist they be kept in a safe or locked showcase. Perpetual Time Reviews show that clients who have such watches do need to get them serviced regularly, at least once every two years or so, but the cost of doing it is long and expensive, especially when the watch has to be insured for its trip to the original manufacturer in Switzerland. Fortunately, Perpetual Time’s founder, Alex Photi is certified in the Watchmakers of Switzerland Training Education Program (WOSTEP) as well as with the British Horologic Institute on how to make, service, repair, and restore classic Swiss watches.

Another critical item mentioned in Perpetual Time Reviews is that founder, Alex Photi, has years of experience working as watchmaker for classic and iconic companies like Tag-Hewer and Cartier. Besides, he has worked in repairing, restoring, and servicing classic watches with exclusive companies like Mapping & Webb, Goldsmiths, and Watches of Switzerland in the UK. He has set up his own company, Perpetual Time, in Manchester and now offers clients in the UK the opportunity to use his skills and of his team of expert craftsmen to repair, service, and restore any classic Swiss watches under one roof. Their fully functional and secure workshop in Manchester can evaluate a client’s watch, estimate the cost, and proceed with the repairs and/or restoration work immediately.

Based on work involved on any classic Swiss watch, Perpetual Time Reviews notes that clients are thrilled to have the full process done in a weeks’ time at the most. Clients wishing to send their precious watches by courier or by post can make use of Perpetual Time’s secure post office box. Alex Photi considers each and every watch that comes under his purview to be a classic; he is also a member of the British Watch & Clock Makers Guild, an organization made up of watch manufacturers, restorers, repairers, retailers, wholesalers, and people working in the industry.

Refurbishing Horologic History on Earth & Space with Perpetual Time

 

Luxury watchmakers, Omega, is based in Biel, Switzerland and was initially started back in 1848 by Louis Brandt, who hand-assembled parts supplied by local machinists, and sold it to his customers in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia.

Omega today is a part of the Swatch Group which also manufactures classics like Breguet, Swatch, and Blancpain. Omega is one of the brands that Perpetual Time Reviews claim to be a favorite of many owners and have many models being serviced and repaired at their Manchester branch. Some of the Omega models have very complicated working parts, especially the chronometers and chronographs. Whatever the type of complication, Perpetual Time have the experts who can handle the repair, service, and restoration of this iconic brand of watches.

One reason why Perpetual Time Reviews is proud to handle Omega watches is because of the huge history behind some of the famous models like the Omega Speed master, also known as the Moon watch, because this model was selected by NASA for their astronauts on Apollo missions. It is also famous for being the first watch to be worn on the moon. For owners of watches who wish to embellish their watch, the company has a choice of diamonds or special polishes to beautify these classics.

Perpetual Time Reviews mention many satisfied customers of Omega and other classic Swiss brands who are unanimous in their praise for the excellent work done. Restoration and refurbishing of watches is very difficult and requires expert knowledge about watches as well as a ready supply of spares on hand to ensure clients get their watches back in good time. There are thousands of tiny parts in a watch, and knowing what to keep in stock is a tribute to the work done by Alex Photi with Cartier and other big brands.

How Perpetual Time Services and Maintains Time-Honoured Classic Watches

The servicing and repair schedule at Manchester-based Perpetual Time is very complicated but systematic, because they are dealing with classics that may be over hundred years or older. Properly maintained and regular servicing will keep these classics ticking over easily for another hundred years.

Reviews of the Perpetual Time have quoted and commented on the strict protocols and procedures that are followed by this company when it comes to handling a classic horologic treasure. From the time the watch is brought to the workshop, it is scanned into their system, mainly for insurance purposes; this covers photos which show original scuff marks, scratches, and other damage on the watch, dial, bezel, and strap. The requests from the client is also entered i.e., why the watch was brought in.

After this formality, the watch goes to the qualified technician who will strip the watch down and keep the watch movement in a sealed unit for storage according to the reviews of the Perpetual Time; this is done to comply with insurance regulations. The remainder of the watch is then dismantled carefully to check for wear and tear including the wheel pivots, centre wheel, and mainspring among others. The parts are cleaned using ultrasonic cleaning machines using various cleaning solutions, a process that can take up to 30 minutes.

 

The reviews inform that Perpetual Time’s cleaned parts are microscopically examined for wear/tear, and any replacement; this is done only after owner’s consent about the cost. Moving parts are greased and oiled, the movement rebuilt, demagnetised, and tested comprehensively to ensure that the watch works perfectly. Automatic watches are tested on an auto tester after which all watches are re-set to the proper date and time before handover to the client. Once serviced with Perpetual Time, the watch should run properly for another three years before the next service.
