Watch repair and servicing in Worb near Bern
A watch is a precise piece of machinery – and it deserves professional care. At Raspe Uhren & Goldschmiede in Worb, we have our own workshop where we carry out many repairs directly. For special work or the servicing of certain brands, we send the watch directly to the respective manufacturer.

Our own workshop or the manufacturer – we choose the right approach
We carry out many repairs directly in our workshop in Worb. This means shorter distances, faster processing, and personal contact. For certain brands or special work, we work with manufacturer workshops – for example, when original spare parts or special tools are required.
We will discuss the best approach for your watch with you in person. This way, you will always receive the best service at a fair price.
How a repair works
1. Initial inspection in our shop
You bring us the watch. We inspect it and estimate the scope and cost.
2. Cost estimate
For more extensive work, we will provide you with a non-binding cost estimate. You can then decide whether to go ahead with the repair.
3. Repair in the workshop
We repair your watch in our workshop or send it to the manufacturer for special work.
4. Function test
After the repair, we carefully check its function. For quartz watches, we test the accuracy and battery; for mechanical watches, we check the power reserve.
5. Collection
As soon as the watch is ready, we will contact you. You can collect it from us in person.
Frequently asked questions about watch repairs
How long does a repair take?
Simple tasks such as battery replacements or glass replacement are often carried out directly on site. Movement repairs or servicing take a few days to a few weeks in our workshop. Manufacturer servicing can take four to eight weeks, depending on the brand.
How much does watch servicing cost?
This depends heavily on the movement and the manufacturer. A simple movement cleaning is significantly cheaper than a complete overhaul of a mechanical brand-name watch. We will provide you with a transparent cost estimate before any major repair.
Is a repair even worth it?
We will give you honest advice. For inexpensive quartz watches, a repair can sometimes cost more than buying a new one. For mechanical brand-name watches or heirlooms, servicing is almost always worth it – it will keep the watch running for many more years.
Do you also repair very old watches or collector's items?
Yes. We have experience with vintage watches and heirlooms. In some cases, spare parts may need to be specially sourced or handmade – we will discuss this directly with you.
What is the difference between a repair and servicing?
A repair fixes a specific fault. Servicing is a preventive, complete overhaul: the movement is dismantled, cleaned, oiled, and reset. Servicing is recommended every 5 to 10 years for mechanical watches.
Do you also repair watches that were not purchased from you?
Of course. We accept watches from many brands for repair, regardless of where the watch was originally purchased.
