Watch Repair
Rotating collections, rare faults
Owners with several watches wear each in turn, which means some sit for weeks while others are in constant use. Faults can appear at either extreme: a movement that stops from disuse, or a crown that tires from regular winding. Neither is unusual in a collection, and both are worth catching early.
We approach each watch separately, with a clear view of its make, age and use. The repair is shaped around the actual fault, and the explanation you receive is precise enough to inform decisions about the whole collection, including which watches deserve work now and which can wait.
Care across a collection
Piece by piece diagnosis
Each watch is examined on its own, since a modern chronograph and a vintage time-only piece fail in different ways and need different remedies.
Shock and impact damage
A hard knock can disturb the balance and leave a watch running erratically. We find the damage and repair it, then check the timekeeping afterwards.
Complications and calendars
Calendar, chronograph and winding faults are traced component by component, so the exact part causing the problem is dealt with and the rest is left undisturbed.
Modern and vintage together
Whether a watch is current production or decades old, the same examination applies, and the proposal reflects the condition and character of the piece in front of us.
Repair for a quiet gated community
Emirates Hills wraps around the Montgomerie golf course, a community of private collectors and families. A round of golf is a particular test for a watch, as swings send repeated shocks through the wrist and into the movement. Collectors in a community like this often keep watches for years, so a repair is judged by how well it lasts.
Message us on WhatsApp or call to talk through the watch, and we will arrange an appointment at our Dubai Hills workshop. Bring one watch or several, and our watchmakers will go through each with you. Gathering them up for one appointment saves you repeated trips and lets us compare their condition side by side.
Signs a collection piece needs repair
- A watch worn for golf now runs erratically, gaining or losing in bursts.
- The chronograph starts but fails to stop, or will not reset cleanly.
- A watch from the collection has not run since it was last put away.
- The crown rotates with a grinding or clicking feel that was not there before.

Questions about watch repair in Emirates Hills
Can golf damage a watch?
Repeated shock from swings can affect the balance and other delicate parts, and in time lead to erratic timekeeping. It is worth having a watch examined if it begins to run differently after play. A watchmaker can identify whether shock is the cause.
Can you look at several watches from an Emirates Hills collection in one visit?
Yes. Tell us how many you are bringing and what each is doing, and we will plan the appointment accordingly. Each watch is examined individually, so you receive separate findings and can decide on each repair in its own right.
Do you repair independent makers such as F.P. Journe or Richard Mille?
We work on Swiss and independent makers, including F.P. Journe and Richard Mille, and the first step is always an examination. Because these watches are specialised, we explain what we find clearly and discuss the repair route before any work begins.
What should I do with an Emirates Hills watch that has not run for years?
Leave it as it is and send us a message describing it. Please do not force the crown or wind it hard to test it. After examination we explain its condition and what repair is realistic, so you can decide whether to return it to running order.
