Let's be real, fixing watches isn't always glamorous. Sometimes you need just one tiny screw, a specific spring, or a particular gear, and ordering a brand new, pristine part feels like overkill – and can hit the wallet hard. That's where AUTUS FORTUNA comes in. They’re not dealing in shiny, brand-new components; they specialize in salvaging usable parts from broken, damaged, or otherwise unusable watches. Think of it as watch recycling, but instead of melting everything down, they carefully disassemble and sort the pieces, offering a treasure trove of affordable components to those who need them. Why "Junk" Watch Parts Matter You might be thinking, “Junk? Seriously?” But seasoned watch repair professionals will tell you, these "junk" parts are frequently lifesavers. Here’s why: Cost Savings: This is the big one. Replacement parts, especially for vintage or less common watches, can be incredibly expensive. Using salvaged parts significantly reduces repair costs, making watch restoration accessible to a wider range of customers and hobbyists. Availability: Certain parts simply aren’t manufactured anymore, or are incredibly hard to find. AUTUS FORTUNA’s inventory often includes components that are unavailable through traditional supply channels. If you’re working on a classic timepiece, this can be a game-changer. Practice and Learning: For aspiring watchmakers, working with salvaged parts is an excellent way to gain experience. It allows them to practice disassembly, repair, and reassembly without the pressure of damaging expensive, new components. It’s a budget-friendly way to hone skills. Sustainability: AUTUS FORTUNA is contributing to a more sustainable approach to watch repair. By reusing existing components, they’re reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact of watch restoration. Quick Turnaround: When a customer needs a watch fixed now, waiting for a specific part to ship can be a problem. AUTUS FORTUNA’s readily available inventory means repairs can often be completed faster. What Kind of Parts are We Talking About? AUTUS FORTUNA doesn't just throw a bunch of broken pieces into a box. They meticulously sort and categorize their parts, offering a surprisingly wide range of components, including: Balance Wheels & Staffs: These delicate components are often damaged during watch servicing. Having replacements on hand is crucial. Mainsprings: A broken mainspring means a watch won't run. AUTUS FORTUNA provides a source for replacements, even for older movements. Gears & Pinions: From center wheel gears to escape wheel pinions, they have a selection of these essential components. Hands & Indices: Lost or damaged watch hands and indices are common issues.
