It could have been worse, "upgraded to" or, heaven forfend, "up cycled" might have been used.

I can't read the original Japanese, but I am offered a translate button

"The movement that used to be an outlet was originally requested by an antique watch repair shop,

The needle reproduces the original to be movable."

Perversely, doing so may have increased its value and saleability.
