Mechanical Servicing

Did you know your timepiece needs servicing every 3/5 years? (Yes, including yours as you are reading this)
Did you also know most Swiss mechanisms have over 130 components with some grand complications having as much as over 1,000 components!
All of which are all housed in a watch case that sits on your wrist. As time passes by these parts wear down through general wear and tear and need to be replaced. This is why we strongly advise servicing your timepiece as it will not only keep the movement in good shape but also prolong the life of your precious champion!
General Procedure
Step 1 | Disassembly
The bracelet or strap is removed from the watch case. Once the case is opened the movement is then carefully removed and the rest of the watch case is dismantled.
Step 2 | Movement Disassembly / Cleaning
Once the movement is carefully dismantled, each component (remember how many there could be!) is carefully cleaned in a special ultra-sonic tank in a special cleaning formula.
Step 3 | Replacement of Components
Our highly trained, highly skilled and highly experienced watchmakers will carefully examine each individual component and deem weather they are good enough or in need of replacement before they are selected to be re-assembled back onto the movement.
Step 4 | Lubrication & Reassembly
To prevent wear and marginalise friction. Each functional component is lubricated using the latest in advanced lubricants. This ensures your timepiece continues to operate smoothly and accurately.
Step 5 | Calibrations
In the centre or the heart of your timepiece’s mechanism lies its balance wheel, which will generally have a frequency of over 400,000 beats per day.
To maintain the precision of time-keeping our highly skilled watch makers will intricately adjust the balance wheel and then electronically test your movement’s timing accuracy. Once completed, your timepiece will then be vigorously tested and observed over several days.
Step 6 | TLC package
As part of the mechanical service, your timepiece will also undergo the basic TLC package so it’s not just the inner mechanism of your timepiece that will benefit from being serviced but also the exterior.
