What Our Customers Say

"Did an amazing job of restoring an old family watch that had been left in a cupboard for decades with the use of a donor movement and dial. Were helpful and kept in contact throughout the process, highly recommend these to anyone looking to get their watch fixed."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Joshua Salt, Google Review

"F. Meeks & Co dared to replace the battery on my CK watch. No one else would touch this watch due to its unique shape and glass face. The watch was done within an hour, while I had a coffee 😌 Very friendly, efficient and professional service, at a reasonable cost 🙌🏻 I would highly recommend!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Joanne Coulter, Google Review

"What a fantastic shop with true craftsmen who really know their stuff. Within half an hour my watch with a well worn brown leather strap had been transformed with a stainless steel bracelet and I'm delighted with the result."
