About

Our watchmaker is Ryan Bramlett, who has two decades of experience servicing watches on the Front Range. He is a member of the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute (AWCI) and is certified by them as a CW21 — Certified Watchmaker for the 21st Century.

People often have treasured heirlooms they would like to have repaired, but find it difficult to find someone willing to engage with their problem. That's where we can be of help. We take the time to engage with you to find out what's going on and how we can help — and we never charge for estimates, though many other repair places do.

We also believe in being straight with you. You'll always get an honest assessment of what your timepiece needs — and what it doesn't — and a clear price before any work begins. No surprises.

Watchmaking is a craft that gets passed from hand to hand. Ryan has assisted in teaching a watchmaking class at AWCI headquarters, helping a new generation of watchmakers find their footing at the bench.

That same spirit comes home to every repair: patience, precision, and a genuine love of keeping these wonderful little machines alive for the people who treasure them.

Our Process

We don't have a storefront — instead, we come to you. Here's what to expect from start to finish.

  1. Say hello

    Tell us about your timepiece using the form below. There's no obligation — we're happy to just talk it through.

  2. Pickup

    We arrange a pickup time and place that's convenient for you, and your timepiece is in careful hands from there.

  3. Free estimate

    Ryan looks it over and gives you an honest assessment of what it needs — and what it doesn't — with a clear price. Estimates are always free.

  4. The repair

    Work begins only when you say so. If the timing or price isn't right for you, no hard feelings — and no charge.

  5. Delivery

    We bring your timepiece back to you, running the way it should.
