British watch making legacy ticks on splendidly



Preserving traditional skills and refining them is embedded in the British psyche. The example of watch making is apt as ever since the 16th century, watchmakers have belonged to guilds and this tradition has continued to flourish. The Guild of Master Craftsmen is Britain’s oldest trade association that represents skilled tradespersons, artisans and other professionals that are achieving excellence and aiming for perfection in their skills. Over 400 such professions are represented by the Guild. To become a member is an arduous exacting process as the assessment is very thorough before the coveted badge of Guild of Master Craftsmen is bestowed.



One such member is Perpetual Time who can be called as watchmaker extraordinaire. The highest quality of watch service, watch repair and watch restoration services can be had at their premises in Liverpool and Manchester.  The bespoke WOSTEP (Watchmakers of Switzerland Training Education Program) trained and BHI (British Horological Institute) alumni are up there with the best of the best.



Having a state-of-the-art workshop and access to generic spare parts with the capability of even turning out the elusive vintage spare part enables this gifted watchmaker to handle all kinds of watches – from world-class brands of modern and vintage classics to everyday timepieces of people who appreciate time on their wrist. No movement or caliber is beyond them, even a tourbillion.

 

Among their many talents is watch customization that has evoked stunning appreciation. Perpetual Time reviews has several mention of family heirlooms restored to pristine condition and ticking. Headed by a passionate watchmaker named Alex Photi (CEO of Perpetual Time) it can be safe to comment that the legacy of George Daniels (famed British horologist 1926 - 2011, CBE, DSc, FBHI, FSA, AHCI founder of coaxial escapement) is alive and in good hands. Several Perpetual Time reviews echo similar appreciation for the professionalism.
