Watch Repairs

Dorchester Watch Repair specialists offer a range of services including replacement straps, batteries and new glass. They also provide a complete service. Watches are precise mechanical devices which will eventually wear out and can benefit from routine servicing. Modern quartz watches have many moving parts and will eventually wear. If possible, the straps can be fitted while you wait, or later, depending on your preference.

Engraving

Many items, including jewelry, tanksards, trophies, and wedding rings can be engraved, as well as christening gifts and tankards. An expert engraver can be hired to assist us. They are happy to give an estimate before they start any repair or engraving. Machine engraving can be used to do simple tasks like engraving presentation plates or trophies. Machine engraving is cheaper than hand engraving, and it produces a consistent finish. However, the options for styles are limited. Because hand engraving requires more skill and takes longer to complete, it can be more expensive. Hand engraving can be used to engrave many more items than can be accomplished by machines. There are many styles to choose from and engraving professionals can also copy the design and reverse-engrave family crests or monograms for sealing.
