Ah yes… the legendary “quick battery replacement.”

Fingerprints on the movement, damaged coil, insulator missing — a Swiss Ronda transformed into a forensic crime scene in under ten minutes. Impressive in its own way.

A luxury timepiece is not opened with enthusiasm and guesswork. Precision watchmaking requires correct handling, clean-room discipline, and respect for components measured in fractions of a millimetre.

Unfortunately, the movement did not receive that memo before its last encounter.

At A.J. Watch Repairs, we believe a timepiece should leave the bench looking serviced — not investigated.

Two worlds are about to collide.
The bold accessibility of Swatch meets the heritage and prestige of Audemars Piguet.

The upcoming “Royal Pop” collaboration is already dividing opinions across the watch world — some love the creativity, others feel icons should remain untouched.

What do you think?
Brilliant modern crossover or a step too far?

Refinement is not reserved for one name alone.
Whether the timepiece carries the signature of Seiko, Omega, Rolex or Grand Seiko — the standard of restoration must remain uncompromising.

These finishes are recreated through precision polishing and controlled lapping, restoring the original geometry, definition and light interaction of the case surfaces while preserving the character of the timepiece itself.

True refinement is in the details.

There’s lume… and then there’s tritium.

This Ball Watch Company timepiece shows just how good tritium gas tubes can be—constant glow, no charging, no fade.

True performance, day or night.

Lest We Forget.

On ANZAC Day (25th April), we pause to honour and remember the bravery, sacrifice, and spirit of all those who have served — past, present, and future.

Out of our deepest respect, we will be closed on ANZAC Day, as well as Monday 27th April.

We will remember them.

Automatic movements such as ETA and Sellita are designed to be powered by motion — not excessive manual winding.

The metallic debris visible through the caseback and the worn crown wheel shown here are typical results of repeated manual winding.

In fact, no automatic movement, regardless of brand, is designed for continuous manual winding. A few gentle turns to start the watch is perfectly fine… after that, let the rotor do its job.

Think of it as owning a luxury vehicle — you wouldn’t sit in the driveway revving the engine all day.

At A.J. Watch Repairs, every timepiece is treated as a mechanical work of art, preserved to perform beautifully for decades.

Precision Engineering Beyond Standard Servicing

The images show a specialised watchmaking machine used to mill and install additional jewels into the Valjoux 7750 movement plates.

Jewelling a movement is not cosmetic — it is a functional upgrade rooted in traditional haute horology. Synthetic ruby jewels significantly reduce friction at critical load points, improving the transmission of energy from the mainspring through the gear train.

By reducing friction and stabilising torque delivery, this process helps:
• Reduce long-term wear on pivots and plates
• Improve consistency of power output from the mainspring
• Enhance stability of rate and overall timekeeping performance
• Extend the service life of the movement

At A.J. Watch Repairs, we apply advanced watchmaking techniques normally associated with high-grade manufacture calibres, ensuring each movement performs with greater efficiency and longevity.

Every timepiece is treated as a mechanical instrument — engineered for precision and preserved for generations.

Haute Horlogerie Service and Restoration

Watchmaking remains one of the enduring disciplines of precision craftsmanship, refined through centuries of technical evolution and guided by a commitment to permanence, reliability, and measured accuracy.

At A.J. Watch Repairs, every timepiece is regarded as a masterpiece — handled with the utmost care and respect for its mechanical architecture, materials, and intended performance. Servicing is undertaken in accordance with established horological practice, preserving both functional integrity and aesthetic character.

Case integrity is evaluated using specialised pressure and vacuum testing systems, including testing up to 125 bar and -0.75 bar vacuum, supporting accurate verification of sealing performance and protection from environmental exposure.

Our workshop undertakes complete movement servicing, precision refinement of external surfaces through controlled polishing and lapping, re-illumination of dials and hands, and careful restoration of bezel numerals. Each process is performed with disciplined attention to proportion, finish, and material integrity.

With over three decades dedicated to professional watchmaking, our work reflects the continuing tradition of horology — where precision, restraint, and respect for the timepiece remain paramount.

Quartz are movements too…

This Grand Seiko 8F86 isn’t here to play games — gold-plated plates, proper jewels, and engineering that delivers accuracy mechanicals can only admire from a distance.

Some call quartz “basic.”
We call it refined, disciplined… and just a little bit misunderstood.

Luxury doesn’t always tick loud — sometimes it glides.
