Chronographs, repeaters and vintage movements. Watchmaker Andriy Safonov, Kharkiv, Ukraine. More than 20 years of experience.
Three different tasks: a chronograph service, a repeater restoration with a new case, and a part made by hand.
Chronograph · service and repair
Repeater · restoration and a new case
Repair · a part made by hand
Servicing and repair of chronograph movements, pushers and registers.
Restoration of striking work — from cleaning to regulating the chime.
Old wrist and pocket calibres whose parts sometimes have to be made by hand.
I quote the price after inspection: it depends on the movement, its condition and the parts needed.
I’m Andriy Safonov, a watchmaker based in Kharkiv. I handle every stage of the repair myself, from inspection to final testing.
I enjoy complicated work most: chronographs, repeaters and old pocket-watch calibres whose parts sometimes have to be made by hand.
After inspection you receive photos of the movement and a description of its condition. We agree the scope of work and the price — and only then do I start the repair.
I accept watches from all over the world, except Russia and Belarus.
Message me with photos of the watch from the front and back, the model if you know it, and a short description of the problem. I’ll tell you whether I can take the job and how to pack and send the watch.
I open the movement and send you photos and a description of its condition. We agree the scope of work, the price and the timeline. No repair starts without your approval.
After the repair I check how the watch runs and send it back to you. All work comes with a warranty.
I give the exact price after inspection: it depends on the movement, its condition and the parts needed. A preliminary estimate from photos is not always possible.
It depends on the complexity and on parts availability. We agree the timeline together with the scope of work, and I keep you updated at every stage.
Before you send it, I’ll explain how to pack the watch properly and which courier to choose. Please use a service with a tracking number.
Usually every 3–5 years. Oils dry out over time and parts begin to wear.
Mechanical and quartz watches, wrist and pocket — from vintage to modern Swiss classics. Chronographs and repeaters most of all.
Yes, all work comes with a warranty. Its terms depend on the watch, and we agree them before the repair begins.
WhatsApp works best, but any other messenger or email is fine too. So that I understand the task straight away, please include:
Workshop: Kharkiv, Ukraine. I accept watches from all over the world, except Russia and Belarus.
