Across oceans she travelled, surely—
through trade, through hands, through time itself—
until, at last, she came to rest on African soil.

A SWISS ICON. REBORN IN CAPE TOWN.

A world rebuilding.
In Switzerland, Omega crafts a movement built to outlast generations — the 38.5L T1.

Who carried her first?
Whose days did she measure—
whose trains were caught, whose letters written,
whose partings and reunions passed beneath her ticking gaze?

Decades pass.
Hands change. Journeys unfold.
Until one day… it’s forgotten.

We found it at the bottom of a dusty box —
worn, silent, missing its voice.
A train etched into its case, a story nearly lost.

We brought it back.

Now, 79 years later, it lives again:
fully serviced, reimagined, and ready for another lifetime.

Not restored. Reborn.

One watch. One history. One owner.

It’s been ages since we’ve posted on social media.

Below are photos of a recent restoration for a client who bought an 18s Waltham conversion from us years ago. Over time, the plated brass case had worn badly and the watch was starting to look quite haggard.

We took her in, gave her a full clean-up and service, re-plated the case in a matte finish, polished the crystal, fitted a new strap, and brought this beautiful 100+ year-old timepiece back to life. She’s now looking absolutely stunning again.

Amazing strap done by Outlaw Straps for a client Omega. We were able to source a period advertisement for his model and it was perfectly recreated by Dion!
