• About Me – How It All Began
I discovered my passion for watches during my university studies in Turkey. In 1979, my master watchmaker offered me the opportunity to repair a watch. When I heard the first tick after completing it, I knew: this is my calling.

For the next 20 years, I gained extensive experience, often working with limited parts. This taught me creativity and improvisation, skills that are still invaluable today, especially when restoring antique or rare watches.

Now in Germany, I am proud to bring my expertise to clients, restoring watches that others may have considered lost. Each repair is a challenge, and each watch that ticks again is a personal triumph.

• My Promise
Whether it’s a simple battery replacement or a complex movement overhaul, I handle every watch as if it were my own. Precision, reliability, and respect for your valuable timepiece are always my top priorities.
