At the Horlogerie Ancienne we offer you first-class conservation-restoration of watches, clocks, technical and scientific instruments, music boxes and automata. We also provide a full reconditioning service for vintage mechanical wristwatches.

Our workshop also specialises in the conservation-restoration of gilt bronzes, and in the reproduction of missing case elements (mounts).

Also, do contact us for any technical expertise and/or evaluations of your horological items – for insurance purposes or in the case of inheritance.
