Othrys - Je horloge verdient tijd

Careful maintenance for watches that matter to you.

From a trusted Seiko to a distinctive vintage movement, a watch’s value is not just its price. At Othrys Watches in Westbroek, I maintain, inspect and repair mechanical and high-end quartz watches.

With attention to the mechanics, the original condition and what the movement actually needs.

Mechanical maintenance services from €350, excluding parts. Inspections from €35.

Proper maintenance takes more than a quick clean.

During a maintenance service, the movement is dismantled, cleaned and inspected. Careful assembly and lubrication follow, with measurements and checks to assess how it functions. This takes hours of work, technical knowledge and specialist tools. The attention is not just in what you can see, but in what happens inside.

Meet the watchmaker

I maintain and repair mechanical and high-end quartz watches at my workshop in Westbroek. I continue to learn and develop my technique, work with different calibres and use specialist tools for the work each movement needs. After a maintenance service, I assess its operation through systematic quality checks.

Geweldige service! De horlogemaker heeft mijn horloges snel en voor een zeer betaalbare prijs gerepareerd. Ze liepen eerst twee uur voor, maar lopen nu perfect op tijd. Een echte aanrader!
