FAQs

  • I mainly work on mechanical watches, especially vintage pieces and unusual finds. Many of the projects here involve Soviet watches, older movements and flea-market discoveries that deserve a second life.

  • No. I'm self-taught, learning through hands-on work, proper reference material and genuine obsession.

    I’m transparent about my skill level and I don’t take on work I’m not confident doing.

  • Currently I offer Watch Diagnostic services. A timegrapher reading for €15.

    Full restoration services are in development. I'm not a traditional repair shop but I'm always happy to have a look and conversation about your watch.

  • Battery replacements are usually best handled by a local jeweler.

    Strap fitting and consultation for vintage and mechanical watches is something I enjoy. Finding the right strap for an old watch matters more than people think.

  • Possibly. If you found a watch at a flea market, in a drawer, or inherited from family, I’m always curious to take a look.

    I can't promise a full identification or valuation, but I often enjoy helping people understand what they have and what movement might be inside it.

  • Wound to Wear is based in Antwerp, Belgium.

    Unlike many traditional watch workshops in the Antwerp diamond district, this project is built around curiosity, restoration and learning rather than luxury retail service.

  • A full timegrapher reading.

    Beat rate, amplitude and accuracy.

    With a clear explanation of what the results mean for your watch. It's a diagnostic snapshot, not a service or repair.

  • Mail-in is available but local drop-off in Antwerp is strongly preferred. Watches travel at the owner's risk. Tracked and insured shipping is recommended.

  • Through the contact form, feel free to reach out.

    Even if it's just to share the story behind your watch, I always enjoy hearing about watches people have found.

    Everyone is welcome!

  • Full restoration and servicing of vintage mechanical watches. Updates will follow as the craft develops.

  • Mechanical watches run because a mainspring is wound, storing the energy that powers the movement.

    The name reflects the idea of bringing worn or forgotten watches back to life.

    Wound again so they can be worn again.
