Watch service for Rolex, Patek, AP & Cartier.

From the workshop - Munich

Time Boutique Munich operates its own watchmaking workshop with a permanently employed, trained watchmaker. We never give a watch out of our hands. Every complete overhaul, every repair, every glass change is carried out here, on site in Munich, by the same hands.

Our recommendation for every complete service: the Maison Service. A handover for authenticity check, complete overhaul of the movement, case treatment and water resistance. Documented, with a 12-month warranty. Of course, we also offer individual services such as glass replacement or seal replacement, but the Maison Service is our clear recommendation for complete maintenance.

Whether Rolex revision, Patek Philippe service, Audemars Piguet or Cartier: Bring your watch to Munich in person or send it insured from anywhere in Europe. We provide a detailed estimate before anything happens, free of charge and without obligation.

Our specialties: Complete overhaul, glass replacement, water-resistance testing, gasket replacement and careful polishing. For Submariner, Daytona, GMT-Master, Datejust, Day-Date, Nautilus, Aquanaut, Royal Oak, Tank, Santos and all other major models. Vintage pieces from the 1960s to 1990s are treated with particular care: Patina preservation, original repairs, no aggressive polishing.

Average processing time of two weeks, 12-month warranty on the movement, insured return shipment included. Excellence without detours. House policy since 2018.

Two paths to a request

Full service or a single intervention?

The Maison full service is our recommendation for every complete factory overhaul. For individual services — crystal change, bezel work, gasket replacement or just a water-resistance test — use the individual request.

Our service process in detail

From the incoming inspection to the final handover.
House policy - since 2018

Movement, case, movement. In this order.

Every watch goes through the same multi-stage process. We leave no detail out, not even a complete overhaul that has already been on the table.
  1. Intake inspection

    Detailed condition report and documentation of every component. Functional check of the movement and water-resistance test before we open anything.
  2. Complete overhaul

    Movement disassembled, every part cleaned in ultrasonic bath, worn components replaced, professional oiling with manufacture oils.
  3. Case work

    Careful polishing (only on request), every seal replaced, crystal and bezel cleaned. Preserving the original form takes precedence over cosmetic enhancement.
  4. Quality control

    Rate accuracy tested over several days, water resistance re-checked, final functional test. Only then does the watch leave our house, with a documented service protocol.

Frequently asked questions about the watch service

Answers on maintenance intervals, costs, shipping and brand service.

Manufacturers recommend a complete overhaul every 5 to 10 years for a Rolex, depending on model, wear frequency and water contact. Daily drivers with dive use need shorter intervals (5-7 years), display-case pieces can go longer without service. Signs that an overhaul is due: poor accuracy, fogged crystal, stiff crown.
