REPAIR & SERVICE
Pierre Kunz Retrograde Moonphase
Gray & Sons Jewelers, located in Miami Beach, Florida is an independent watch service center, repairing Pierre Kunz Retrograde Moonphase watches since 1980.
Servicing a Pierre Kunz Retrograde Moonphase
The Pierre Kunz watchmaking house was founded in Geneva, Switzerland in the late 1990s with a mission to carry forth the centuries-old horological traditions of the region into contemporary watch designs. Under the creative direction of founder Pierre Kunz, the maison quickly gained acclaim for its innovative takes on haute horlogerie complications paired with simple, elegant aesthetics.
In the early 2000s, Pierre Kunz debuted the PKA 007 collection as an homage to the founder's family lineage of watch artisans dating back seven generations. The 007 marker becomes a symbol throughout the collection, representing the continuation of watchmaking passion across the ages. One of the line's most revered references is the PKA 007 SRL, where SRL stands for "Seconde Rétrograde Lunaire" in reference to its retrograde moon phase display.
The PKA 007 SRL features a 40mm 18K rose gold case surrounding a silver opaline dial with Roman numerals, blued steel hands, and a subdial at 6 o'clock showing the moon phase through a single lunar cycle. The curved aperture along the left side of the dial tracks the days of the month in a 220° retrograde arc, instantly jumping back to 1 at the end of 31 days. Beating inside is a self-winding mechanical movement fully developed and produced in-house at Pierre Kunz's Swiss ateliers.
With its refined vintage-inspired looks belying a contemporary in-house calibre within, the PKA 007 SRL Retrograde Moon Phase elegantly carries the watchmaking traditions of Pierre Kunz's seven-generation lineage into the 21st century and beyond. Its very essence shows the motto, "Innovation born from tradition."
Pierre Kunz Repair Services
Gray & Sons - Top Watch Repair Center
The restoration of the Pierre Kunz PKA 007 SRL Retrograde Moon Phase commences with extensive photography to document all external and internal components. Using specialized screwdrivers, our master watchmaker carefully accesses the in-house automatic movement through the engraved case back. Under high magnification, the self-winding is closely examined for any worn parts, with extra scrutiny applied to the retrograde and moon phase modules unique to this reference.
As Kunz's first watch featuring an innovative retrograde complication, maintaining the flawless functionality of this mechanism is crucial. Our expert watchmaker fully disassembles then ultrasonically cleans all components before reassembly, adjusting clearances to uphold the manufacturer's strict tolerances.
Our polishing artisan restores the 18K Rose Gold case by expertly buffing out any fine scratches accumulated through years of daily wear.
Once the movement is re-cased, we put the PKA 007 SRL through a battery of assessments. On our precision timer, we check timing accuracy and amplitude to monitor the movement. A dive simulation machine verifies water resistance to 30 meters. Under a loupe, we confirm the smooth functioning of the retrograde date and moon phase displays. The fully wound watch then runs continuously for 30 hours to analyze long-term rate stability and power reserve, ensuring optimal performance for its next owner.
