Caring For Your Watch

As with anything mechanical, internal watch parts can wear which can lead to performance reducing over time. We recommend regular watch servicing to ensure that your timepiece is working correctly and to the original specification. This is especially important if your timepiece has a water resistance or pressure resistance as this will need to be re-tested and maintained over time to ensure maximum performance.

You would take your car in for frequent servicing without question, so why not take the same level of care with your watch? Unlike a car your watch runs an impressive 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year all while undergoing everyday wear and tear.

 Please note, if our watch servicing highlights the need for a repair, we will contact you first to discuss a quote before any work is undertaken.
