A client has sent in a watch that he unintentionally dropped from the 11th floor in 1986. There was an attempt by a watchmaker to fix it, but it would only run with chronograph engaged. It ended up in a drawer for 30 years before it was rediscovered and sent to me.
Another vintage watch serviced and ready to be enjoyed again! We agreed to paint the second, minute and hour recorder orange.

Thanks so much for the wonderful work you’ve done restoring my old friend to its former glory!
And thanks also for the excellent service provided during the process, with constant updates and shared decisions on how to approach this “resurrection” project!

Exceptional work as usual. Hard to believe it took a spill from the 11th floor too- I suppose the previous watchmaker cleaned up a bit of that mess though.
I like the look of this piece too- reminds me of the Heuer Camero. I’ve seen some LeJour’s from the period that look the same. The best looking chronographs to come out of the late 70’s and early 80’s in my humble opinion.
Keep up the good work! :o)
