Interesting FAQ's

When to Service a Watch? The frequency of servicing depends on several factors: Usage: A watch worn daily may require servicing every 3-5 years. Occasional wearers might extend this to 5-7 years. Environment: Exposure to moisture, dust, or extreme temperatures can accelerate the need for servicing. Manufacturer's Recommendations: Some brands specify recommended service intervals to maintain warranties and performance. The Servicing Process Dismantling: A trained watchmaker carefully disassembles the watch, documenting each component's condition. Cleaning: Parts are cleaned in specialized solutions to remove old oil, dirt, and debris. Inspection: Each component is inspected for wear, damage, or corrosion. Any worn parts are replaced with new ones. Reassembly: The watch is reassembled, lubricated with precise amounts of high-quality oil, and adjusted for accurate timekeeping. Testing: The watch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets performance standards for accuracy, water resistance, and power reserve.

Servicing a mechanical watch is a meticulous and specialized process essential for maintaining its functionality and longevity. Unlike quartz watches, which rely on batteries and electronic components, mechanical watches operate through intricate mechanisms powered by a mainspring. Over time, these components can wear down or accumulate debris, necessitating regular maintenance to ensure accurate timekeeping and optimal performance.

Why Service a Mechanical Watch? Mechanical watches are precision instruments that benefit from periodic servicing for several reasons: Accuracy: Over time, components like pivots, gears, and springs can wear, affecting the watch's accuracy. Servicing includes adjustments and cleaning to restore precise timekeeping. Longevity: Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of a watch. Regular servicing prevents excessive wear and tear, preserving both the movement and the case. Water Resistance: Water-resistant watches rely on seals and gaskets that degrade over time. Servicing ensures these components are replaced or resealed to maintain water resistance. Condition: Cleaning removes dirt, dust, and oil buildup that can affect the watch's appearance and performance. Polishing also helps restore the watch's aesthetic appeal.
