A.J. Watch Repairs 143 London Circuit, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory 2601

Welcome to A.J. Watch Repairs, the premier authorized service centre for various watch brands in Canberra, Australia. Located at 143 London Circuit, our establishment is a must-visit point of interest for watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.

At A.J. Watch Repairs, we pride ourselves on providing top-notch service to ensure that every timepiece leaving our workshop meets its original functional and aesthetic specifications. Our dedicated team of qualified watchmakers meticulously clean and restore each case and bracelet, while completely overhauling the movement. We rigorously test the timekeeping accuracy and water-resistance of every watch to guarantee the level of quality and reliability you naturally expect from a horologist.

We offer services for all styles of mechanical wind-up/automatic watches, as well as quartz timepieces. However, at this stage, we are only accepting Quartz clocks, not mechanicals, due to our current workload. Rest assured, all repairs are carried out onsite by our skilled watchmakers and come with a 12 or 24-month guarantee on all major repairs.

Being an authorized service centre for various brands means that the job is done by us in our purpose-built workshop, conveniently located just upstairs from our retail store. We utilize factory-grade pressure test equipment to ensure water-resistance and test for any leaks, ensuring your watch is ready for any aquatic adventures.

In our store, you will find renowned brands like Witschi, Sigma, Horotec, Bergeon, and Litlitz. These brands provide the highest quality tools and equipment for watch testing and maintenance. We are equipped with the Witschi Watch Expert IV, specially designed for testing and checking co-axial and other special calibers. Additionally, the Analyzer Q1 is the ideal instrument for efficient and fast testing of LCD and Quartz timepieces.

Mechanical movements, whether automatic or manual wind, are intricate works of art. Made up of small gears, miniature screws, and hair-thin springs, combining all these minuscule pieces to create a working, accurate timepiece is truly an amazing feat. With the right care, mechanical timepieces, especially modern ones with jeweled movements, can last forever. In fact, we specialize in bringing them back to life if they are in reasonable condition.

If your timepiece suddenly starts running extremely fast, it could be an indication that the hairspring coils are magnetized, causing them to stick together. Our watchmakers are trained to easily correct this issue using only approved machines for service centre use. These machines not only detect magnetism but also demagnetize both mechanical and quartz timepieces.

Another common issue we encounter is tangled coils, usually caused by a shock to the movement. This can significantly increase the beat rate and cause the watch to run extremely fast. Fortunately, our qualified watchmakers can quickly fix this problem in less than 2 minutes.

At A.J. Watch Repairs, we understand the value and sentiment attached to your timepieces. Rest assured, your watches are in safe hands with our expert team. Visit us today and experience the highest level of watch repair and maintenance services in Canberra.
