What happens during a service?

Depending on the type of watch and the servicing required, a comprehensive watch service may involve carefully dismantling the movement, cleaning individual components, inspecting and replacing worn parts, and reassembling and lubricating the mechanism. Where appropriate, the watch case is cleaned, seals are checked and the timekeeping accuracy and power reserve are tested.

Our team will explain the recommended work based on your watch’s condition and servicing requirements.

• Your watch is completely stripped and all components cleaned.
• Worn parts are replaced on an exchange basis.
• Components are re-assembled and lubricated.
• All functions are tested and the case is ultrasonically cleaned and sealed as recommended.
• The power reserve, where applicable, and timekeeping accuracy are regulated and tested over a five-day period.

How Long Does a Watch Repair Take?

Repair times vary depending on the type of watch, the work required and the availability of replacement parts. Many standard repairs can be completed within a few weeks, while more complex servicing or restoration work may take longer.

Our team will provide an estimated timeframe once your watch has been assessed.

How Much Does a Watch Repair Cost?

The cost of a watch repair depends on the make, model and nature of the work required. From straightforward battery replacements and bracelet adjustments to specialist servicing, our team will assess your timepiece and explain the available options.
