Mechanical Watch Services

Mechanical Watch Service

Mechanical watches rely on many small parts working together. A service may include inspection, disassembly, cleaning, lubrication, reassembly, and testing, depending on the watch’s condition and design. We’ll assess the watch and explain what work is appropriate before proceeding. Regular maintenance can help address wear and performance issues before they affect more components.

Watch Troubleshooting

A watch that stops, runs fast, or loses time may have a range of causes, from low power reserve to worn or damaged components. We’ll examine how the watch is behaving and look for the source of the problem. After an assessment, you’ll have a clearer picture of possible repair needs and the next steps to consider.

Watch Cleaning

Dirt and old lubricant can interfere with the movement of a mechanical watch. Cleaning is often part of a full service, where the movement is taken apart and its components are cleaned before reassembly and lubrication. The right approach depends on the watch’s construction and condition. We’ll explain whether cleaning alone or broader service is suitable.

Movement Repair

The movement is the mechanism that powers a mechanical watch. If a watch has a persistent issue, inspection can help reveal worn, damaged, or out-of-place components. We’ll review the problem and discuss the repair options based on the movement and parts involved. Some repairs require sourcing specific components, so timing and availability can vary.

Watch Regulation

Mechanical watches can gain or lose time for several reasons, including position, use, and the condition of the movement. Regulation adjusts the movement’s rate, but it may not resolve timekeeping problems caused by wear or damage. We’ll assess the watch’s performance first and explain whether regulation is a suitable step or whether further service is needed.

Watch Inspection

An inspection offers a practical first step when you’re unsure what your watch needs. We’ll examine its condition and discuss symptoms such as stopping, inconsistent timekeeping, or difficulty winding. The findings can help determine whether the watch needs routine service, a specific repair, or further evaluation. We’ll explain the recommended next steps before work begins.
