Gray & Sons - Vacheron Constantin Watch Repair - Service Center For High Caliber Watches
When it comes to providing an overhaul and detail service for high-end watches, Gray & Sons takes immense pride in executing a meticulous and time-intensive process that brings these timepieces back to their former glory. Our unwavering commitment to excellence ensures that every watch entrusted to us receives the highest level of care and attention to detail.
The journey of restoring a watch like the Vacheron Constantin Classic 22mm, which you can find here , begins with the careful removal of the watch's case back. This step allows us to conduct a thorough inspection to identify any signs of corrosion or damage that may require component replacement. In this case, the watch required a long needing maintenance.
At Gray & Sons Jewelers, each watch that comes into our collection undergoes an extensive overhaul and detailing process. This process encompasses the disassembly and servicing of the watch's intricate movement, complemented by a time-intensive cleaning and polishing of its external case and bracelet.
Once we've identified the precise issues affecting the watch and determined if any replacement components are required, our highly skilled watchmaker proceeds to disassemble the timepiece, carefully deconstructing it piece by piece in preparation for the restoration.
The movement, crystal, and watch stem are carefully separated from the head and bracelet. The case and bracelet are entrusted to our skilled polishers, while our dedicated watchmakers commence their intricate work on the movement. Every part of the watch's mechanism is methodically disassembled, with each individual component scrutinized for wear or damage.
Upon identifying the watch parts that demand replacement, our watchmaker meticulously prepares the screws, springs, pivots, and plates for cleaning, sourcing any necessary replacement components. We employ a combination of six specialized cleaning solutions in an ultrasonic machine to ensure the thorough removal of dirt, dust, and aged oils from every crevice and component within the watch.

Following the comprehensive cleaning process, our watchmaker proceeds to reassemble the movement with precision. Lubricants are thoughtfully applied where necessary, and all gaskets are replaced to preserve the watch's water resistance.
This meticulous process typically consumes between two to five hours per watch, assuming no unexpected interruptions occur and all components remain in working condition.
While our watchmaker at Gray & Sons expertly tends to the movement, our skilled polisher gently refines the case to eliminate minor scratches and imperfections. Subsequently, the case undergoes a rigorous cleaning in our ultrasonic machine, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
Once our watchmaker completes the reassembly of the movement, and the watch is re-cased, the final stages of our restoration process come into play. Prior to returning the watch to the client, we execute a stringent quality control check to ensure that the watch functions as closely to its original condition as possible.
During this quality control assessment, we employ specialized machines to measure the watch's amplitude, essentially listening to its heartbeat. We also use a machine that simulates a deep dive using air pressure to assess the watch's water resistance and check for any potential leaks.
Furthermore, we inspect all complications to ensure their full functionality, including the hour, minute, and second hands. If both timekeeping and water tests pass, the watch undergoes a winding and observation process where it rotates and mimics wrist movement for 6-8 hours. Afterwards, the watch is allowed to rest and run for the next 20-30 hours, ensuring that the automatic rotor powering the reserve operates at optimal performance.
This thorough analysis of durability and function ensures that the watch's movement is fully operational and unaffected by any natural irregularities in wrist movements. Our complete restoration process, designed to revitalize and rejuvenate each timepiece to its former glory, can take up to 8 weeks.
At Gray & Sons, we are dedicated to preserving the legacy of exceptional timepieces and providing them with a new lease on life. Your watch will not only tell time but also carry with it a history of meticulous craftsmanship and care that ensures it will continue to be a timeless piece for generations to come.
