His journey began in 1985 with a seven-year apprenticeship under Swiss master watchmakers in Geneva, where he learned the exacting standards and time-honored techniques that define true watchmaking excellence.
Edmund's philosophy is simple: every watch has a story, and it is our privilege to ensure that story continues. Whether restoring a family heirloom or servicing a modern complication, he approaches each piece with the same reverence and precision that has become the hallmark of Horology House.
Edmund restored my grandfather's 1952 Omega that hadn't run in decades. Not only does it keep perfect time, but the care and respect he showed for this family heirloom was extraordinary. True craftsmanship.
I've been bringing my Rolex collection here for 15 years. The attention to detail is impeccable, and Edmund's knowledge is encyclopedic. I wouldn't trust my watches to anyone else.
My Cartier Tank stopped working during a business trip. Edmund had it repaired within days, and it's been running flawlessly ever since. Professional, efficient, and clearly passionate about his craft.
I inherited a collection of vintage watches and had no idea of their value or condition. Edmund provided detailed appraisals and restored several pieces beautifully. His expertise is unmatched.
The crystal on my Omega Seamaster was badly scratched. Edmund replaced it and polished the case—it looks brand new. Fair pricing and exceptional work. Highly recommend!
Edmund's work on my vintage Patek Philippe was nothing short of miraculous. He sourced original parts and restored it with such precision that it's now a centerpiece of my collection. A true master.
