Why Service Your Mechanical Watch?
  • Your watch "ticks" 432,000 times a day.
  • Your watch "travels" (combined distance of moving parts) 3,600 seconds a year
  • Your watch marks 86,400 seconds every day.
  • Your watch has a balance wheel which vibrates on a spiral hairspring.
    The speed of a balance vibrating at a frequency of 28,800 times per hour
    is equivalent to a car going 87 mph.
  • And because your watch, like your car, runs up a lot of mileage,
    it needs regular service.

Proper service includes the following:

  • Complete disassembly and ultrasonic cleaning of the movement to
    remove any accumulation of foreign matter.
  • Inspection and replacement of any damaged or worn parts.
  • Complete lubrication of the movement, to replace the tiny deposits of oil
    that dry up after a period of time.
  • Electronic regulation of the watch's timekeeping.
  • Computer resealing of water resistant watches.
