Reviews
"I have always received excellent service at Birkett Watches. Ben's experience is valuable in assessing problems and his skills important in undertaking the appropriate repairs. The workshop is so fascinating it's like taking a glimpse at watchmaking history."
"I dropped my Seiko automatic off as it had completely seized up and was over 40 years old. I was hoping to get it fixed before Xmas, but he managed to turn it around within a week, and the watch looked amazing. And it was so good to see it working better than I had ever seen it as it was my fathers. Great, prompt, and friendly service. I’ll definitely be taking more of my watches there."
"I sent my Omega Constellation 18K Watch for repairs. I got excellent and friendly service. I will recommend Birkett Watches."
"Ben quickly diagnosed and repaired my trusty Marine Star while I waited. His workshop and skills are clearly focused on more valuable watches than mine. The price he charged me was incredibly fair and I would not hesitate to recommend him for any watch repairs."
"I brought in a 100-year old Swiss-made pocket watch heirloom which had not been working for quite a few years into Birkett Watches. The watch was fixed on the spot after a number of adjustments with a good explanation by Ben about the watch and the adjustments made. I was very impressed with the prompt service and attention to detail that I received and highly recommend Birkett Watches. Furthermore after attempting to pay, Ben wouldn’t accept any money for the time and work performed. Lucky find for me with a gem of a service."
