Our customer inherited this stopwatch made for the horse racing industry. Circa 1920. Case, movement and hands badly rusted. Client requested it be fully functional, but not remove all pitting damage on the case to keep some patina and the original crystal left with scratches.
Restored exactly to customers expectation. New hands manufactured to exactly match original style. Now fully functional. Had not worked in decades.
Before restoration. Hands rusted beyond repair. Movement rusted requiring major re-build. New winding crown and bow supplied. Was told before many times it was not possible to repair.
