Whether your watch needs a simple battery replacement or a full mechanical service, our experienced team will restore it to optimal performance and appearance.
Why Regular Watch Service Matters
Mechanical watch movements are like engines in luxury automobiles—they require regular maintenance to perform properly.
Lubricating an automatic watch movement is much like changing the oil in your car. If the internal oils are not replaced periodically, they can dry out, causing friction and premature wear on delicate components.
Proper maintenance helps your timepiece:
-
Maintain accurate timekeeping
-
Prevent internal component wear
-
Extend the life of your watch
-
Preserve its long-term value
With routine servicing, a fine watch can run for decades—or even centuries.
Most manufacturers recommend serving your luxury automatic watch every 3 to 5 years for older models and newer ones can extend that to 5 to 7 years. Quartz watches should be serviced every 3 years.
If you go in the water frequently, or spend time outdoors in harsher conditions, having your watch checked periodically for water resistance and timing gives you peace of mind. If you ever notice your watch losing time or if it stops, have it checked right away. And if you see water in your watch, make haste to bring it in immediately!
