Fretless Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I'm looking for a skilled and trusted watchmaker, somebody with experience working on old pocket watches. Does anybody know such a person? My pocket watch needs to be repaired. It's close to 100 years old, and has great personal value to me. This was my everyday carry, and I would like to go back to that. Every time I pull out my cell phone just to check the time, it hurts my heart a little bit.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 H. Lorist in Jackson CA is a quality craftsman. I was told he was grumpy. I had no problems. I took a carriage clock to him that had been fixed in Sacramento (no one locally would touch it) and the mainspring broke again, just out of warranty. H. Lorist FIXED it, didn't just reattach the mainspring. I worked for a Swiss watchmaker, clock repairman for five years and "I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two." I wouldn't take a Timex for a battery to the Swiss watchmaker's son. I trust Mr. Lorist, 209-223-4777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
