Have an antique watch that has seen years of wear? Rox’s experienced jewelers can help restore your watch to working order. Some traditional antique and vintage watch issues include:Missing or Damaged Crown
When customers bring in their antique clock, it often is missing the crown. The crown is the dial that allows the wearer to regulate or wind the watch. This can easily fall out during everyday wear.
Missing Winding Stem
The winding stem is secured to the watch under the crown. It is held in place by a tiny screw on the bridge of the watch. Over time this screw can loosen and slip out of the watch.
Damaged Balance Wheel Assembly
The balance wheel is a watch component that oscillates back and forth in 5 to 10 times per second. It is used to keep correct timing in your watch. It can be damaged if your watch is dropped or hits a hard surface.
Damaged Mainspring and Barrel
The mainspring and barrel are probably the most recognized part of a watch or clock. They are the two big gears responsible for winding your watch and the metal cylinder containing the mainspring that is in charge of giving power to the watch. Due to the wear that winding can afflict on the mainspring and barrel, they can break. Therefore, if these two components stop working, your watch will no longer work.
Whether your antique or vintage watch is a missing crown or has a broken mainspring and barrel, Rox can repair your piece. Our experienced jewelers can identify any watch parts needed for your watch and install it skillfully.
