About Squires Watches

Squires Watches is a jewelry service business located on Chambers Ave in the Uplands neighbourhood of London, Ontario. It serves local consumers and professional jewellers throughout the London area, offering specialized watch repairs and restoration. The business provides comprehensive servicing for major watch brands, which includes a detailed diagnostic examination of each timepiece. The restoration process involves completely disassembling the movement to examine and replace parts with original manufacturer components. Specific services include ultrasonic cleaning, hand polishing and refinishing of cases and bracelets, and the replacement of gaskets, crowns, and tubes to maintain water resistance. After reassembly, the movement is calibrated and tested in five different positions on a timing machine. The final stages of service include five days and nights of testing using a wrist motion simulator and a final pressure test in a vacuum chamber. The work is performed on-site by Charlie Squires, a Certified Watchmaker who completed a three-year advanced watchmaking course at George Brown College. With over 45 years of experience in the field, Squires maintains a large parts inventory and specialized tool and test equipment. He describes his approach as one of uncompromising quality, ensuring every detail is addressed before a watch is returned to the owner. Services are available by appointment.
