Classic Swiss watches hold their value even after taking inflation, and in some cases they are worth millions of pounds. However, watches in that price range are very rare and their intrinsic value is calculated on the precious metal or stones used in the case, bezel dial, and/or bracelet. These working pieces of art may not be worn everyday, but it works perfectly well in that scenario, but in most cases, the insurance companies would frown upon such endeavours, and insist they be kept in a safe or locked showcase. Perpetual Time Reviews show that clients who have such watches do need to get them serviced regularly, at least once every two years or so, but the cost of doing it is long and expensive, especially when the watch has to be insured for its trip to the original manufacturer in Switzerland. Fortunately, Perpetual Time’s founder, Alex Photi is certified in the Watchmakers of Switzerland Training Education Program (WOSTEP) as well as with the British Horologic Institute on how to make, service, repair, and restore classic Swiss watches. Another critical item mentioned in Perpetual Time Reviews is that founder, Alex Photi, has years of experience working as watchmaker for classic and iconic companies like Tag-Heuer and Cartier. Besides, he has worked in repairing, restoring, and servicing classic watches with exclusive companies like Mappin & Webb, Goldsmiths, and Watches of Switzerland in the UK. He has set up his own company, Perpetual Time, in Manchester and now offers clients in the UK the opportunity to use his skills and of his team of expert craftsmen to repair, service, and restore any classic Swiss watches under one roof. Their fully functional and secure workshop in Manchester can evaluate a client’s watch, estimate the cost, and proceed with the repairs and/or restoration work immediately. Based on work involved on any classic Swiss watch, Perpetual Time Reviews notes that clients are thrilled to have the full process done in a weeks’ time at the most. Clients wishing to send their precious watches by courier or by post can make use of Perpetual Time’s secure post office box. Alex Photi considers each and every watch that comes under his purview to be a classic; he is also a member of the British Watch & Clock Makers Guild, an organisation made up of watch manufacturers, restorers, repairers, retailers, wholesalers, and people working in the industry.

Luxury watchmakers, Omega, is based in Biel, Switzerland and was initially started back in 1848 by Louis Brandt, who hand-assembled parts supplied by local machinists, and sold it to his customers in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia.
Omega today is a part of the Swatch Group which also manufactures classics like Breguet, Swatch, and Blancpain. Omega is one of the brands that Perpetual Time Reviews claim to be a favorite of many owners and have many models being serviced and repaired at their Manchester branch. Some of the Omega models have very complicated working parts, especially the chronometers and chronographs. Whatever the type of complication, Perpetual Time have the experts who can handle the repair, service, and restoration of this iconic brand of watches. One reason why Perpetual Time Reviews is proud to handle Omega watches is because of the huge history behind some of the famous models like the Omega Speed master, also known as the Moon watch, because this model was selected by NASA for their astronauts on Apollo missions. It is also famous for being the first watch to be worn on the moon. For owners of watches who wish to embellish their watch, the company has a choice of diamonds or special polishes to beautify these classics. Perpetual Time Reviews mention many satisfied customers of Omega and other classic Swiss brands who are unanimous in their praise for the excellent work done. Restoration and refurbishing of watches is very difficult and requires expert knowledge about watches as well as a ready supply of spares on hand to ensure clients get their watches back in good time. There are thousands of tiny parts in a watch, and knowing what to keep in stock is a tribute to the work done by Alex Photi with Cartier and other big brands.

Perpetual Time is one of the few private companies in the United Kingdom who are perfectly capable of providing complete service and repairs to this iconic watch.
A Breitling timepiece is very rugged and can withstand harsh treatment, while still looking very good on the wrist. Perpetual Time Reviews have praised the quality of service that they provide for owners of this iconic brand in the United Kingdom. Alex Photi, the founder of Perpetual Time has promised that they have the capability to restore Breitling watches to its original condition through their experts in Manchester. They guarantee that the service provided by Perpetual Time is as good if not equal to the parent company in Switzerland. The reason why Perpetual Time Reviews are so in favour of this service is that besides giving quality treatment, they are also highly competitive when it comes to pricing for the service and repair work. Another plus factor, is that the watch can be sent to Manchester by courier and sent back after repairs without the added cost and insurance of sending it abroad; and all this in a week. They strictly adhere to the 12 steps of their service manual. All watches are completely stripped down, including the movement, bezel, glass dial, bracelet, etc. Once the stripping process is over, Perpetual Time Reviews notethat the watch is completely cleaned of any accumulated dust, dirt, and grease; this process also applies to the bracelet also which is cleaned and dried. The materials and components used in this process meets the very high standards set by Breitling. Servicing a classic watch is a sure-fire way of ensuring that it will work and keep time perfectly for years to come. Classic watches were made many years ago, when technology was simple, but had complicated movements and knowledge of that period is vital to keep those watches ticking today.
Many of the classic brands of Swiss watches that started in the late 1700s and 1800s are still at work today making modern timepieces which will become classics in another 50 to 60 years. Keeping them running in mint condition is what Perpetual Time has been doing which can be seen in their reviews.

Properly maintained and regular servicing will keep these classics ticking over easily for another hundred years. Reviews of the Perpetual Time have quoted and commented on the strict protocols and procedures that are followed by this company when it comes to handling a classic horologic treasure. From the time the watch is brought to the workshop, it is scanned into their system, mainly for insurance purposes; this covers photos which show original scuff marks, scratches, and other damage on the watch, dial, bezel, and strap. The requests from the client is also entered i.e., why the watch was brought in. After this formality, the watch goes to the qualified technician who will strip the watch down and keep the watch movement in a sealed unit for storage according to the reviews of the Perpetual Time; this is done to comply with insurance regulations. The remainder of the watch is then dismantled carefully to check for wear and tear including the wheel pivots, centre wheel, and mainspring among others. The parts are cleaned using ultrasonic cleaning machines using various cleaning solutions, a process that can take up to 30 minutes. The reviews inform that Perpetual Time’s cleaned parts are microscopically examined for wear/tear, and any replacement; this is done only after owner’s consent about the cost. Moving parts are greased and oiled, the movement rebuilt, demagnetised, and tested comprehensively to ensure that the watch works perfectly. Automatic watches are tested on an auto tester after which all watches are re-set to the proper date and time before handover to the client. Once serviced with Perpetual Time, the watch should run properly for another three years before the next service.
