My name is David Margolis. I repair, restore and service luxury and vintage watches from my workshop in Brentford, London. I am extremely dedicated to the study of horology. I took my first watch apart 32 years ago, when I was just 8. And I've not stopped since. My ambition is to make my own watches completely from scratch, like the legendary George Daniels. But that will take many more years of hard work. For now, I offer servicing, restoration and repairs. I use the best oils, original parts and always follow manufacturer recommendations to make sure my work is of the highest standard. For restoration work I also specialise in making replacement parts, electro-plating and re-springing hairsprings.

I take on repair, restoration and servicing jobs for all kinds of luxury watches, including vintage and antique pieces. I also take on "problem jobs" from other watchmakers, often where custom made parts are needed.  I am fully insured and I provide a 2 year warranty for all my work.

If you have a watch that you would like repaired, restored or serviced, please get in touch using the contact form below. Tell me as much as possible about your timepiece. And I'll reply as soon as I can.

Please note that all visits to the workshop are by appointment only.

Before you get in touch, please consider the following:

• Unfortunately, I don't work on digital watches or smart watches or clocks.

• I'm unable to help with fakes and replicas.

• If you just need a battery change, please go to Order a Battery Change

• For small 'odd jobs' such as missing crowns or strap adjustments, I can only provide these as part of a full watch service.

• A basic watch service starts from £220. Rough servicing prices can be found here. Watch restorations can cost many thousands of pounds.

• I am often inundated with enquiries so please be patient. I will do my best to get back to you as soon as I can.
