Maintenance & Movement Service
Watch Maintenance encompasses a broader range of activities beyond movement service, including cleaning the exterior, checking the seals and gaskets, and testing the water resistance. A horologist, a skilled watchmaker, carries out these tasks meticulously. They begin by carefully disassembling the watch, inspecting each part for signs of damage or wear. Ultrasonic cleaners are often used to remove dirt and grime from both the interior and exterior components.
After cleaning, the watch is reassembled, lubricated, and calibrated to ensure it keeps accurate time. Water resistance tests are conducted to confirm the watch can withstand exposure to water, which is particularly important for dive watches. Regular watch maintenance by a professional horologist not only preserves the aesthetic and functional quality of the watch but also protects the owner's investment in a valuable timepiece.
Movement Service is a critical aspect of watch maintenance that ensures the intricate internal mechanisms of a watch continue to function accurately and efficiently. The movement, often referred to as the heart of the watch, consists of numerous small components working in harmony to measure time. Regular servicing of the movement is essential to prevent wear and tear, lubricate moving parts, and replace any worn-out components.
Over time, lubricants can dry out, causing friction and potentially damaging the delicate gears and springs. By performing a movement service every few years, horologists help maintain the watch’s precision, longevity, and reliability, ensuring it continues to function as intended.
