Heirlooms of the Jumeirah coast
Jumeirah runs along Jumeirah Beach Road through Jumeirah 1 to 3, Umm Suqeim and Al Safa, an established residential stretch of the coast. Many households have kept the same villa for years, and their watches have often kept pace with them, worn on the same wrists until they were handed down.
A watch inherited from a parent or grandparent is part memory and part machine. Servicing keeps it running, careful polishing preserves its character, and authentication confirms exactly what you have, so that the watch you pass on in turn comes with a clear and trustworthy record of what it is.
We take the view that an old watch should look old in the right way. Our refinishing removes as little metal as possible, so edges stay sharp and proportions stay true, and the small marks that years of wear leave behind are left alone unless you ask us to deal with them.
Our services in Jumeirah
Five disciplines, one atelier, each with its own page for clients in Jumeirah.
Watch Servicing

Watch Polishing
Refinish an heirloom with restraint, softening the damage of the years without erasing the history of the watch.
Watch Repair

Watch Repinning
An old bracelet that has stretched can be tightened with new pins and collars, keeping the original links in place.

Questions from Jumeirah
I have inherited a watch in Jumeirah. Where do I begin?
Begin with an examination. A watchmaker can tell you whether it runs, what condition it is in, and whether authentication would be worthwhile. Nothing is done until you decide, so there is no commitment in looking.
Will servicing change the look of a family watch?
Servicing works on the movement inside and leaves the appearance alone. If you also want the case refinished, we discuss how light a touch you prefer before anything is done to it.
Can a watch that has not run for years be repaired?
Often, yes. A watchmaker will examine it, say what is wrong, and tell you plainly what repair or restoration is possible, including whether original parts can be kept. How far to go remains your decision.
