Our Philosophy

Finding a reliable shop to restore your vintage watch shouldn't be this difficult. And when you do find one, you shouldn't have to worry about parts being replaced or polished without your consent, altering the watch's unique history.

At Sutcliffe Hansen, we do things differently. We believe every watch tells a story, and that story deserves to be preserved exactly as the owner intends. That's why we provide a detailed timeline of your watch's restoration journey, complete with photos of every step.
