Antique Ball Pocket Watch Repair Services

At Sangamon Watches Repair Center, we understand the historical significance and sentimental value of your Ball Pocket Watch. Renowned for their precision and reliability, especially in the railroad industry, antique Ball pocket watches are true collector’s items.

An overhaul service is essential to keeping your antique Ball pocket watch in good working condition, ensuring it continues to tick for years to come.

• Movement Repair and Adjustment
  If your watch has stopped working or is losing time, we provide movement repairs and adjustments to restore functionality. While we strive to get your watch running as accurately as possible, it's important to understand that due to the age of these timepieces, they may not perform as precisely as they once did. Minor time loss can be expected.

• Crystal Replacement
  We offer crystal replacement services for scratched, cracked, or broken glass. Using high-quality materials, we ensure that your Ball pocket watch retains its classic look while being protected from further damage.

Challenges with Antique Ball Pocket Watch Parts

While we are committed to preserving the authenticity of your Ball pocket watch, it’s important to note that finding original or compatible parts for certain models can be challenging due to their age and rarity. In some cases, parts may no longer be available, and we may need to source vintage alternatives or craft custom parts.

Despite these challenges, our skilled watchmakers do their best to provide the necessary repairs without compromising the watch’s historical value.

What to Expect After Service

Due to the age of these antique watches, even after a full overhaul, your Ball pocket watch may not run as precisely as it once did. You may experience time loss, and it is important to manage expectations when it comes to the accuracy of vintage timepieces. However, our restoration and repair services will extend the life of your watch, keeping it in excellent condition for display, sentimental use, or occasional wear.
