WHY SERVICE YOUR MECHANICAL WATCH?
Your watch "ticks" 432,000 times a day and marks 31,536,000 seconds a year!
Because your watch is like your car, it needs regular service. Even though the watch may be well-cased, preventing dirt and moisture from entering the movement, oils dry out in a couple of years. Without proper lubrication, parts will experience wear, making the repair more costly. It is recommended that your watch be serviced every three years.

Case & Band
We have a selection of watch bands, from rubber
sport bands to fine leather straps to metal watch
bands.
We can also procure name brand
watch straps and parts. Most band adjustments are
also done while you wait.
Clean and Overhaul
First the movement is removed from the case and
both are examined for any defects. The dial and
hands are removed for examining that side of the
movement for rust and any other needs. In the next
stage, the movement is carefully disassembled, constantly
checking all of the parts. All of the component
parts are placed in an ultrasonic cleaning machine
containing a special solution. After cleaning and
drying, the movement is reassembled, oiled and electronically
timed for accuracy. The movement is then placed
into the case, which has been polished, as well
as the bracelet should there be one. If it is a
self-winding (automatic) watch, the final check
happens on a special machine called a cyclotest,
which simulates the watch being worn on the wrist.
It is tested on this machine for 48 hours.
Caution: Parts for antique watches and pocket watches
can be scarce.
