Servicing my 1815 Chronograph - Drago Design Timepiece Servicing

Servicing a timepiece is (at least to me) one of the most important aspects of owning a timepiece - if not more so than making the acquisition. I managed to find a service/repair specialist in Drago Design Timepiece Servicing located right here in Singapore.

I have had several timepieces serviced at Drago Design and I have to say I am impressed with the work they have done. My first complication "test" with Drago was the Roger Dubuis Sympathie Biretrograde Perpetual Calendar Chronograph.

The repair shop is what you would expect...

Managed to catch a glimpse of some timepieces awaiting to be assembled (below)

Drago Design won't do a job they are not confident with so I had full confidence in handing over my 1815 Chronograph for service. As what any repair shop will do, they disassembled the timepiece and cleaned all the parts. They were nice enough to let me document this striptease...

The watchmaker was busy with the assembly of my piece when I arrived and was lucky enough to be able to photograph him working on the assembly.

Take a look at some of the parts of the 1815 Chronograph... Pardon the lighting. Could have done a better job...

The results speaks for itself - take a look at the pictures below of the finally assembled timepiece....

Spa trip successful!

Back in my arms again... the A Lange & Sohne 1815 Chronograph.

Servicing Your Perpetual Calendar

I have been wanting to service my Roger Dubuis Sympathie Perpetual Bi-Retrograde Chronograph but I was wanting to do it outside of the manufacture. After much asking around, I found Drago Design Timepiece Servicing

Not an everyday name you would associate with watch servicing - having only recently heard of them. But what I am afraid of was quickly dismissed after speaking with Laurie Tang, the owner founder of Drago. His engineering background and the equipment and machinery he has speak volumes.

Such a complicated timepiece and I entrusted to Laurie and Renu. Laurie showed me under the electric microscope that the dial was somewhat oxidised due to our humid weather. He then explained that they will take apart the watch, cleaning the case, the dial and disassemble the movement for cleaning.

And he kept to his promise... see the proof above. Stellar job!

Clean and service they did - and a wonderful job at that! Back from the spa, the perpetual chronograph is ready to rock and roll.

If you want to contact Drago Design, you may do so at +65 9815 3157. Their office and service centre is located at 8 Kaki Bukit Ave 4, #04-47 (Office), Singapore 415875 (Enter by Gate 2). You may also write to them at laurie@dragodesign.com.sg

Thanks Laurie and Renu! Great job indeed.
