Announcement
www.gentrytime.com for more examples of my work
Hamilton, (Swatch group), has assured me that they will honor their warranty on the watches that I have engraved. I have included a screen-shot of the email from them in the listings.
Watches are engraved in a very deep relief engraving meaning the background has been removed to the depth of the cuts and then black epoxy resin is applied and baked into the background at a low constant temperature of 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
This temperature does not exceed the limits for each watch. Higher temperatures will not harm the watch and the temperatures mentioned above are the range that the watch is expected not to vary in timekeeping.
This all said so an understanding may be had concerning the fact that I do not remove the movement of the watches that I sell during the engraving process so as not to void the factory warranty. For the watches that are sent for custom work, I may ask you to have your in-house movement removed before sending it for engraving so I will not be held liable for any problems there.
Each watch purchased from my Etsy shop is hand drawn and hand engraved therefore each one is uniquely different in some way, they are never the same as you might expect computerized engraving to be.
This process makes the background coloring extremely durable. The resin is the same material Jewelers make imitation stones of. Therefore it will not wear off onto your clothes or come out without maybe trying to gouge it out and yes I can give you a guarantee for the Engraving for a couple of years. If the Black begins to come out just send it back and I will replace the resin, (might I say, this hasn't been a problem).

5 out of 5 starsDavid's engraving on the Hamilton is an absolute work of art. 5 star service from ordering to delivery. David saw the order through at every step to make sure the personalization was correct, and the watch made it safely to our door. My husband loved this year's Christmas present.

5 out of 5 starsThis is the first engraved watch I’ve owned. I’m very pleased with the workmanship of Mr Harris. The bezel stands out like a diamond, it just stands out and draws you the watch. The engraving on the band is perfect, no flaws just expert designs. The engraving on the clasp is so beautiful, the designs, swirls, stand out perfectly. The frame that holds the mechanism is beautiful. I’m undecided when I’ll wear it. Maybe my Church watch, weddings, special occasions. Mr Harris was in constant contact with me about shipping and status of my watch which was very appreciated. I contacted Mr Harris about engraving my initials on the clasp and he added them free of charge. Mr Harris thank you for providing me with such a wonderful timepiece to pass on to my son. Don’t worry I’ll be wearing it and showing it off. JL Lawson Sept 10, 2022
