BHI accreditation is one of the most respected professional qualifications within the watchmaking industry, demonstrating exceptional technical skill, knowledge and adherence to the highest professional standards.

With specialist training, decades of experience and on-site expertise, Tatham Jewellers offers a level of watch servicing and repair rarely found outside major service centres.

Watch Services

At Tatham Jewellers, we specialise in the professional care, repair and servicing of quality mechanical and luxury quartz watches.

A fine watch is engineered to last a lifetime — but only with correct periodic maintenance. All work is carried out on site by Mr Tatham, an accredited member of the British Horological Institute and Omega-trained specialist.

Mechanical & Automatic Watch Servicing

Often described as a watch’s “MOT”, a full service is essential every 3–5 years (longer for some modern pieces). This includes:

• Complete disassembly of the movement
• Ultrasonic cleaning of all components
• Correct lubrication using specialist watch oils
• Replacement of worn parts such as mainsprings or gears
• Regulation and accuracy testing
• Demagnetisation where required

This ensures precision, reliability and protection of long-term value.

Quartz Watch Maintenance

Luxury quartz watches also require professional care, including:

• Battery replacement (with seal inspection)
• Full water-resistance testing
• Circuit diagnosis and replacement if required
• Movement servicing where appropriate

Regular battery changes help prevent internal damage caused by leakage.

Water Resistance & Case Integrity

To protect your timepiece from moisture and dust:

• Gasket and seal replacement
• Pressure testing after servicing or battery changes
• Crown and stem repairs
• Crystal (glass) replacement

Maintaining water resistance is vital in preserving the movement.

Cosmetic & Bracelet Repairs

To restore both function and appearance:

• Case and bracelet refinishing
• Strap replacements (leather or metal)
• Bracelet pin and clasp repairs
• Strap sizing and alterations

All refinishing is undertaken sympathetically to retain the character and integrity of the watch.

Our Approach

We believe that a quality watch should be maintained, repaired and enjoyed for generations. In an age where many items are replaced rather than restored, we remain committed to preserving the craftsmanship and engineering that make fine watches so special.

With relatively few fully accredited horologists practising in the UK today, our on-site expertise allows us to provide specialist watch servicing and repairs with the care, precision and attention to detail that luxury timepieces deserve.
