Precision is the hallmark of fine watchmaking. The in-depth attention to detail is what keeps intricate timepieces functioning with accuracy. Without reliable top-tier repair service, the longevity of these watches is compromised. That's why many watch owners from the casual enthusiast to the dedicated collector turn to Stoll & Co. As a leader in the watchmaking service industry, the company has set a golden standard of quality.

A Better Solution For Common Watch Repairs

Today's watchmaking brings together the worlds of heritage craftsmanship and advanced technology. However, servicing sophisticated timepieces presents several obstacles. For example, contaminants like dust can disrupt mechanisms. There's also the issue of improper handling that can compromise power reserves. Finally, inaccuracies may go unchecked due to ineffective quality control measures.

What does this mean for customers? Long waits, multiple visits for the same issue, inconsistent repairs, and a lack of trust in service providers. Since its inception, Stoll & Co. has been on a mission to offer a solution built on precision, reliability, and excellence.

A Legacy Of Master Craftsmanship

Master watchmaker Ron Stoll founded Stoll & Co. 43 years ago. The company began humbly in the back of a jeweler's shop. As he continued perfecting his craft, it wasn't long before he gained a reputation for meticulous repair. As a result, the business grew.

His passion for the craft has attracted a team of 40 highly skilled watchmakers. Together, they have a collective experience that exceeds 550 years. He now runs the company with his daughter Emily Stoll, who is the vice president and heads business development. The father and daughter team has made Stoll & Co. synonymous with trustworthy, precise watch servicing.

The Keys To Flawless Watch Performance

Stoll & Co. has a one-of-a-kind multi-day quality control (QC) process. Each watch undergoes an intensive, multi-step evaluation. The process confirms the flawless performance of the timepiece before being returned to the customer. Here are the QC steps:

1. Comprehensive review: Technicians conduct a thorough inspection of every watch function, from date changes to chronograph performance.

2. 72-hour timekeeping testing: Watches are monitored over three days to verify accurate timekeeping.

3. Power reserve testing: The team optimizes functionality by fully winding the watch and monitoring its reserve.

This rigorous QC procedure often takes longer than the repair cycle at many service centers. However, the steps are indicative of Stoll & Co.’s commitment to quality and unwillingness to compromise.

High-Tech Delivers Better Service Quality

Stoll & Co. doesn't cut corners when it comes to operational efficiency. The company invested in a custom-built state of the art service management platform that tracks dozens of data points for each watch, from repair history to intricate component details.

Security is another issue the company takes seriously. The team uses RFID technology at every stage of the repair process. In this manner, each timepiece is accounted for from drop off to the hand off to the carrier to be returned to the customer.

Additionally, the state-of-the-art facility houses every piece of equipment a watchmaker could need, including cleanroom environments. This infrastructure allows Stoll & Co. to service a wide range of watches, from simple mechanical models to complex tourbillons, at a scale unmatched by independent service centers.

Peace Of Mind For Watch Lovers

Stoll & Co. remains steadfast in its mission to uphold the highest service standards. The company's “old-world” craftsmanship and high-tech systems give watch lovers peace of mind. They know their precious timepieces are in the hands of a reliable watchmaking service.
