Independent watchmaker
Thompson Watch Repair
Independent, SAWTA-certified watchmaker in Lakeville, Minnesota, doing full overhauls and vintage repairs on Seiko, ETA, Omega and Tudor watches.
Thompson Watch Repair is a one-person shop in Lakeville, Minnesota, with an on-site watchmaker handling full service and overhaul work as well as vintage repair. The shop keeps a large inventory of vintage Seiko and ETA parts, which lines up with the vintage pieces it restores and sells through its own online shop.
Brands serviced include Seiko, ETA movements, Omega and Tudor, and the watchmaker holds SAWTA certification from the Watch Technology Institute. The shop says it is an authorized service center for Omega and Tudor, though that claim comes from the business itself and isn't independently verified here.
Past work shown by the shop includes a fully overhauled 1974 solid-gold Omega tank, a serviced Hamilton GG-W-113 military watch, and a Tudor Pelagos, giving a sense of the kind of vintage and modern pieces that pass through the bench. The shop is open Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 6pm and Saturday from 10am to 3pm, closed Sunday and Monday. An estimate can be requested through the shop's website before dropping off a watch.
