Precise Time Watch Repair (By Appointment Only)

By-appointment watchmaker in Farmington Hills doing batteries, full services and vintage repairs on Rolex, Cartier, Omega, Seiko and other brands.

Precise Time Watch Repair operates out of a private address in Farmington Hills, near Detroit, and works strictly by appointment. The shop is run by Rami J. Farhat, described as a third-generation watchmaker with about 30 years in the trade and a member of AWCI since 1996. Work is done on-site by a watchmaker rather than sent out to a third party.

The shop services a long list of brands: Rolex, Tag Heuer, Cartier, Baume & Mercier, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Omega, Rado, Tissot, Philip Stein, Breitling, Movado, ESQ, Gucci, Swiss Army, Hublot, Seiko, Citizen, Elgin, Bulova, Waltham and Wittnauer. The shop says it is an authorized service center for Rolex, Cartier and Tag Heuer, a claim worth confirming directly if that status matters for your watch. Vintage wrist and pocket watches are explicitly welcomed, and the shop offers battery replacement, full service and overhaul, water resistance testing, and vintage repair work.

For anyone not local to Farmington Hills, the shop offers a mail-in service, with shipping instructions laid out on its site. Regular hours run Monday through Friday, 10am to 5pm, with no weekend hours listed. Appointments and job status are handled directly through Rami, by phone, and the shop lists both a toll-free number and a local cell line for scheduling.
