Our take : The vintage reference: ten years at the Saint-Ouen flea market before moving to the 8th, known for servicing and restoring vintage Rolex and Omega.
Our take : Called “serious and professional” on Forumamontres. A family of watchmakers for over forty years, some twenty brands serviced.
Our take : Six watchmakers trained at the Lycée Diderot and prices published online, which is rare and reassuring. Also on rue Claude-Bernard, in the 5th.
Our take : In-house polishing, authentication and a long warranty: a good pick when you care about your watch.
Our take : Instant online quote, secure pick-up and regular updates: reviews praise deadlines that are met.
Our take : Master craftsman, sixty years of family heritage. Can also make parts that can no longer be found.
Our take : A Paris vintage institution, from 1930s watches to today. Forums find it pricier than average.
Our take : Twenty years in business and a passionate owner: reviews praise his honesty, especially on vintage Rolex and Omega.
Our take : Long established in the Marais, cited on Forumamontres as an experienced watchmaker. A little pricier than average, according to forums.
Our take : Published prices, which is rare: Rolex service from €504. No part is replaced without your consent.
