When it comes to luxury watch servicing and bespoke jewellery craftsmanship, few names carry the weight and trust that Martin Oliva has built over the years. With over 35 years of watchmaking expertise and an equally distinguished legacy in fine jewellery craftsmanship, our reputation is built on precision, passion, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
For over 15 years, we have proudly served watch collectors, jewellery enthusiasts, and luxury timepiece owners who want the highest level of service without compromise. Whether you need a Rolex service, Cartier watch repair, or the creation of a bespoke jewellery piece, Martin Oliva combines traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to deliver outstanding results.
WHY LUXURY WATCHES NEED PROFESSIONAL WATCH SERVICING
Your luxury watch is more than a way to tell time - it is a piece of art, a personal statement, and often a family heirloom. Brands like Rolex, Cartier, Omega, Breitling, and Patek Philippe are designed to last for generations, but even the finest timepieces need regular care to keep them running flawlessly.
A professional watch service involves far more than just checking the timekeeping. At Martin Oliva, we take your watch through a meticulous, multi-step process to ensure every component is restored, adjusted, and protected. This level of precision is what sets us apart from general jewellers or non-specialist repair shops.
THE COMPLETE WATCH SERVICE JOURNEY AT MARTIN OLIVA
We provide a comprehensive A-to-Z watch service carried out entirely in-house by our expert watchmakers. Each stage is crucial to restoring your timepiece to peak condition.
Initial Inspection & Testing – We begin with a full visual inspection and functional tests
to assess timekeeping, hands, crown, chronograph, and any signs of water damage. Every detail is recorded for accuracy.
Remove Strap/Bracelet – The bracelet or strap is carefully removed to allow safe access
to the case without damage.
Open Case & Remove Movement – Our watchmakers delicately remove the caseback,
crown, and stem, before lifting the movement from the case.
Disassemble Movement – Every part, including the mainspring, gear train, escapement, and balance, is stripped down for cleaning.
Detailed Component Inspection – Pivots, jewels, wheels, and gear teeth are examined under magnification. Any worn or broken parts are noted for replacement.
Cleaning – Metal parts are ultrasonically or chemically cleaned, while delicate parts are cleaned separately and carefully dried.
Parts Replacement – Worn or damaged components such as mainsprings, gears, jewels, gaskets, stems, or hands are replaced with approved parts.
Reassembly with Lubrication – The movement is rebuilt with the correct oils and greases applied at precise lubrication points.
Timing & Regulation – Beat rate, amplitude, and positional timing are adjusted using specialist timing machines until performance is within specification.
Re-fit Dial, Hands & Casing – The dial and hands are reinstalled, and the movement is recased, and the crown, stem, and caseback are secured.
Case & Bracelet Service (Optional) – Cases and bracelets can be ultrasonically cleaned, polished, brushed, and refinished to restore their original beauty.
Water Resistance Testing – New gaskets are fitted, and the watch is pressure-tested to confirm water resistance.
Final Quality Control – A thorough functionality check ensures chronograph, date, quickset, and power reserve functions are all working perfectly.
Documentation & Warranty – We provide a full service report listing the work carried out and any replaced parts, backed by a service warranty.
Return & Care Advice – Each watch is returned securely with professional care tips and advice for future servicing intervals.
This structured process means your luxury watch is treated with the same level of precision and respect as it would receive at a manufacturer's service center - but without the excessive waiting times and costs.
FASTER, MORE AFFORDABLE, AND MORE PERSONAL

- Faster turnaround times – Most services are completed in just a few weeks, not months.
- Affordable pricing – Enjoy luxury watch repair without inflated manufacturer prices.
