What makes an expert in antique watch repair in Washington, DC?
Charles Schwartz & Son has experts who will make your watch look brand new.
Who are the experts?
We employ an in-house Master Watchmaker who is certified to work on all fine Swiss watches. Master watchmaking is a historic profession in which the Master Watchmakers must have a certification in order to receive this title. The professional certification looks at not only the watch but what the watch is made out of, the measurements, and the different parts that make up the watch.
We are honored to have our very own Master Watchmaker who focuses on brands such as:
- Rolex
- Cartier
- Patek Phillippe
- and many more
Having a Master Watchmaker is extremely rare and important in deciding where to get your timepiece fixed.
It is also convenient that we have someone in-house, so the process of repairing your watch is quicker and more efficient without the concerns of shipping your watch elsewhere.

What Is Antique Watch Repair Really Like?
Antique watch repair is a meticulous process that blends technical skill with historical appreciation. When you bring an heirloom timepiece to a jeweler, they begin by carefully examining its condition – evaluating the movement, materials, and any wear or damage. Many vintage and antique watches use mechanical movements that require expert knowledge to disassemble, clean, and restore without compromising the original integrity.
Repairing these timepieces often involves sourcing rare parts, some of which may no longer be in production, or even hand-fabricating components to match the original craftsmanship. Each repair is tailored to the watch’s unique history, brand, and construction- whether it’s a mid-century Rolex or a pocket watch passed down through generations.
Clients can expect clear communication, updates throughout the process, and the peace of mind that their treasured watch is being handled with the utmost care. The end result is not just a functioning timepiece, but a beautifully preserved piece of history that can continue ticking for years to come.
