We restore Prim watches

We restore Prim watches

So your parents’ watch ticks again

We get the movement running again and bring back the shine of the case and dial. We restore Primky handed down from someone close to you, or ones you have worn for decades.

In Czech homes, Primky are passed down through the family. They are tied to a graduation, a wedding, someone you want to remember. Sometimes all that keeps them off the wrist is a faded dial, a missing hand or a movement that stopped years ago.

“Old” movements in new watches

Found a pair of Primky at home with a Prim 66 or Prim 68 calibre ticking inside?

We will rebuild them into a new case. Together we can design your own dial or add a message or a wish to the watch.

You get a new watch with the original movement ticking inside.

They will be looked after by watchmakers who know every one of our movements.

We provide warranty and post-warranty service for all our products.

How does restoration work?

Restoration takes months, and time is one thing we cannot rush. Meanwhile your watch is in the hands of watchmakers at the manufacture where it was once made. A place where it is understood.

  1. Drop-off Bring your watch to our boutique on Nekázanka in Prague, in Nové Město nad Metují or in Frýdek-Místek. You can also send it by post.
  2. Payment You pay a deposit, or just the administration fee of 390 Kč. We charge it for every assessment of a watch for restoration.
  3. Approval We prepare a restoration plan and a budget. As soon as you approve them, our master watchmakers get to work.
  4. Collection Collect the finished watch in person, or we will send it to you.
