Three services, each with a clear scope and a written record
Movement servicing, case refinishing, and vintage restoration. Every job comes with documentation. Every price is stated in advance.
Back to Home— Our Methodology —
How work flows through the Vervelle bench
Every piece that enters the workshop is assessed and photographed before any service work begins. The arrival assessment produces a written condition note that describes the state of the case, crystal, bracelet, crown, and — where visible without disassembly — the movement. This document is what we compare against when the piece is ready for collection.
Scope is agreed before work begins. If the job runs to the listed description, the price is as published. If we find a secondary issue during disassembly, we write to the owner with the finding and await a decision before continuing.
Every completed job leaves the workshop with at least one written document: a timing report for movement service work, a condition sheet for refinishing, or a photographic record and conservation note for vintage restoration.

Movement Service & Regulation
A complete strip-down of the calibre, ultrasonic cleaning of plates and wheels, fresh lubrication at every friction point, and rate adjustment across five positions.

Includes a written timing report taken before and after the work, a fresh gasket set, and a 24-month service coverage period, with photographs of the movement at three stages of the job.

Case & Bracelet Refinishing
Careful removal of surface marks from steel, gold and titanium cases, with the original brushed and polished zones re-established by hand rather than machine buffing. Intended for owners who want the case geometry preserved instead of rounded off. Work runs about two weeks and includes bracelet pin and collar replacement, end-link fit correction, and re-tapping of the clasp. A written before-and-after condition sheet is supplied with the finished piece.
- Hand re-establishment of brushed and polished zones
- Bracelet pin and collar replacement
- End-link fit correction and clasp re-tapping
- Works on steel, gold, and titanium cases
- Written before-and-after condition sheet

Vintage Restoration Programme
A bench programme for pieces from the 1930s to the 1970s where parts are scarce and originality matters. Covers movement rebuilding, in-house fabrication of small components, dial preservation, and sympathetic case work that keeps period markings intact. The programme runs eight to fourteen weeks depending on part sourcing. Owners receive a photographic record of every stage, a parts provenance list, and a conservation note describing which decisions were reversible.
- Full movement rebuilding with in-house component fabrication
- Dial preservation — period markings kept intact
- Sympathetic case work, no character removed
- Photographic record of every bench stage
- Parts provenance list and conservation note

— Bench Protocols —
Standards that apply to all three services
Client data security
Contact details and watch information are held securely and used only in connection with your job. Not shared with third parties.
Timing machine verification
All serviced movements are tested on a timing machine in five positions before leaving the bench.
Written scope agreement
Cost and scope are confirmed in writing before any work begins. Changes found during the job are communicated before we proceed.
Correct lubricants only
We use lubricants matched to each friction point type. No general-purpose substitutes that degrade at the wrong rate.
Photographic records kept
Images from the arrival assessment and bench stages are kept on file for twelve months from collection.
Reversibility documented
For vintage work, we note which decisions were reversible in the conservation note, so future owners and watchmakers know what was done and how.
