  All daily activities of a small company; repairing and restoring wristwatches, pocketwatches, small clocks and turret clocks. 2013; Certfied Service Centre for Omega, Longines, Rado, 2015; also certified service centre for Certina, Tissot, Mido, Balmain, Hamilton and Calvin Klein. We also service Rolex, Ebel, Zenith and many more brands. There are three watchmakers working at Belle Heure, most of the time there's also a trainee (student of Vakschool Schoonhoven) learning the crafts. Beside replacing original parts in original watches we restore often the older watches with 'old school' watchmaker hand made parts. We do as much as possible at Belle Heure, within the trade, that is. When restoring the bigger movements we can ad every missing part of the clock to remake it like original, if possible we repair the reversible way, or in a way the next watchmaker (and the next, and so on) can do his job in a way it should. In doing so, we try to save the nice clocks and watches for the generations to come. Show less
