The quiet art of keeping time.

What we repair & restore

Battery & quartz service

from $18

Fresh cells fitted with new gaskets and a pressure test on water-resistant cases, so your everyday watch is ready before you leave the counter.

Movement overhaul

from $180

Complete disassembly, cleaning, oiling, and regulation of mechanical and automatic calibers, then timed on the machine across several positions.

Crystal & case work

from $45

Scratched crystals replaced, cases and bracelets refinished, and worn crowns and stems fitted so a familiar watch looks its age no longer.

Ring sizing & stone setting

from $40

Rings sized up or down, worn prongs rebuilt, and loose stones re-set with the security a piece you wear daily deserves.

Chain & clasp repair

from $30

Broken links soldered, tired clasps replaced, and necklaces and bracelets restrung so they close the way they should.

Hand engraving

from $55

Initials, dates, and short inscriptions cut by hand into watch backs, rings, and lockets to mark the moments worth keeping.

The bench

“A watch is a small machine that carries a large memory. My job is to protect both.” — Elise Marrow, watchmaker

Lunar Cinder is a single bench, not a mail-away counter. Pieces are opened, diagnosed, and repaired here in the studio, and they never leave the premises without your say-so. When a job calls for a rare part, we tell you the honest lead time rather than the hopeful one.

Every intake is logged and insured, and you receive a written description of the work before a screwdriver touches your watch.
