What Wound to Wear offers today, and where it’s heading.

How I Work
Every mechanical watch tells a story through the way it runs. Before any restoration work begins, the most important step is understanding the health of the movement. Using a timegrapher, I analyze the watch’s rate, amplitude, and beat error to get a clear picture of how the movement is performing.
This process helps determine whether a watch simply needs regulation, a service, or further restoration work.
I measure
Every watch starts on the timegrapher.
This device listens to the movement and measures how the watch is actually running. Its rate, amplitude, and beat error. Within a few minutes it shows whether the movement is healthy, slightly out of adjustment, or likely overdue for service.
It’s the quickest way to understand the condition of a mechanical watch.
I understand
Numbers alone don’t tell the full story.
I interpret the readings and look at what the movement is telling us. Certain patterns can point to simple regulation issues, worn lubrication, or signs that a proper service might be needed.
The goal is not just to measure the watch, but to understand how well it is actually running.
I give you a precise overview
After the measurement, I’ll explain the results in clear terms.
You’ll receive the timegrapher readings along with a simple explanation of what they mean for your watch, whether it’s running well, could benefit from adjustment, or should eventually be serviced.

Restoration & Servicing — Coming Soon
Full movement servicing and restoration of vintage mechanical watches is currently in development. Soviet and Cold War era pieces are the primary focus, chosen for their character, robust engineering, and historical significance.
As tools, techniques, and experience continue to grow, the goal is to gradually expand into full disassembly, servicing, and careful restoration of these mechanical timepieces. Updates on availability and future restoration offerings will follow as the craft develops.
Mechanical watches are small machines built to outlive their first owner.
Yet many end up forgotten in drawers, flea markets, or repair boxes.
Wound to Wear exists to bring those watches back into the world.
Each piece is selected for its character, restored where needed, and given a second life on the wrist, not as a museum object, but as something meant to be worn again.
Because to me, the best watches are the ones that have already lived a life. —Arthur
