Welcome to Fausto Perelli

We aim to provide a highly professional and efficient service for dial restoring to watch servicing & repair houses and high street jewellers. Most of our work is concentrated on high end watch brands. However we are we also undertake the less expensive brands.

We invite you to us in order to be able to define the terms and conditions of an interesting collaboration which is driven by an authentic passion for quality timepieces.

Some history

We our proud of our tradition that has its origins back in the fourties, when my father Enrico Perelli was managing his artisan workshop in Rome (Italy). At that time, he was already an affirmed engraver and intaglio artist on noble metals, going from eg. wedding rings or small medals to die-sinking . Furtheron in 1947 the activity gradually evolved towards a specialization in engraving the clichés and moulds needed for watch dial restoring. Notwithstanding the technological evolution, new machinery and of course the use of digital processing, even today the result of our work still mostly depends on our skills and craftsmanship.

Today we are one of the few Specialist Workshops in Dial Restoration. In Italy, we are a key supplier to the most representative services for horological repair of fine wristwatches. Recently we have started to broaden our customer base to other European countries.

Dial Restoring

We specialize in restoring and refinishing watch dials, mainly wristwatches, to their original appearance, covering all leading watch houses, especially Swiss brands, including vintage watches and all complicated timepieces or chronographs. In particular, we cover all types of dials of the complete Rolex-catalogue.

Some examples:
Audemars Piguet – Baume e Mercier – Cartier - Corum – Ebel – I.W.C. - Jaeger Le Coultre - Longines – Omega – Patek Philippe – Piaget – Rolex - Universal Genève - Vacheron Constantin – Zenith and many more.

The watch dial is in some way the aesthetic core of a watch, but over time tends to fade or to discolor and oxidize causing the dial to become unattractive or even unreadable.

Due to our experience, we are capable of restoring the dial to its former glory, always taking into account the original appearance of the dial, coloring and the correct size and font of the lettering. At request, we can also refinish a dial just to change color.

Pricing varies of course depending on the type and style of the dial. Special vintage watches are subject to estimate.
