The watches of our house brands Patek Philippe, Frederique Constant and Erwin Sattler are so refined, subtle and yet so robustly constructed that once purchased they really could last for all your descendants. If they are serviced regularly! For us, this starts with the waterproofness test, which we recommend if you want to go snorkelling or diving on holiday. In their Facebook group, McGraw primarily demonstrates the hard cases: Watches that have been lying in creek beds for years, are badly corroded and you can hardly believe they would be able to work reliably again. It is all the more astonishing that even these battered pieces and the hyper-complicated mechanisms inside them can be restored with the right tools and the right training. We at Oberleitner can do this too! So it really is never too late to save your heirloom. Bring it to us and we will do our best!
In the meantime, why don’t you join McGraw’s group on Facebook and revel in these enchanting restorations with us? As an appetiser, here is the reel of the overhaul of a Patek Philippe Nautilus. This is the closest you’ll ever get to looking under the bonnet of your treasure:
