A Master Watchmaker’s Workshop
Strumenti del Tempo is not a service centre. It is the workshop of an Italian artisan who for over 35 years has dedicated his hands, his expertise and his passion to the care of the world’s most precious timepieces.
“Every watch that arrives in my workshop has a story. My job is to respect it.”
— Marco Spoldi
Marco Spoldi, Master Watchmaker
Marco Spoldi is an Italian artisan watchmaker specialising in the repair, revision and conservative restoration of luxury mechanical watches. With over 8,000 watches serviced across a career spanning more than three decades, he knows the calibres of the great brands by heart: Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Audemars Piguet, IWC and many more.
Philosophy: We Don’t Repair Watches. We Restore Time.
In Marco’s workshop, every watch is treated as a guest. There is a precise ritual:
- Welcome: photographic documentation of the initial state, the owner’s story gathered
- Diagnosis: listening with Witschi timing machine, binocular microscope inspection, 6-position functional test
- Dialogue: Marco personally explains what he found, what is needed and what he recommends. No cold jargon — conversation
- Intervention: every phase documented with photographs. The owner can follow their watch’s “diary”
- The Awakening: the moment the mechanism starts beating again after the service
- Return: with intervention certificate, complete photographic report and warranty
Italian Craftsmanship as Value
Italy doesn’t produce watches — that is Switzerland’s domain. But Italy cares for them, with the same artisan excellence the world recognises in fashion, design, automotive and gastronomy. Strumenti del Tempo is the expression of this excellence applied to precision mechanics.
“Haste is the enemy of precision. Every screw, every jewel, every drop of oil has its moment.”
