Watch Movement Services

Movement Cleaning

A watch movement needs clean components and suitable lubrication to operate as intended. Movement cleaning involves carefully disassembling the mechanism, cleaning its parts, and checking for visible wear. The service can help address sluggish operation or irregular timekeeping. A watchmaker can assess your watch first and explain what work may be needed before proceeding.

Mechanical Watch Service

Mechanical watches rely on many small moving parts working together. A service typically includes inspection, disassembly, cleaning, lubrication, and reassembly, followed by checks of the movement's operation. The exact work depends on the watch's condition and design. Bring in your watch for an assessment so the appropriate service can be discussed before any work begins.

Automatic Watch Service

Automatic watches use a moving rotor to wind the mainspring as the wearer moves. Over time, lubricant can age and dirt can affect the movement. Servicing may include cleaning the mechanism, inspecting the winding system, and applying suitable lubrication. An assessment helps identify the watch's needs and whether further repairs should be considered.

Quartz Watch Cleaning

Quartz watches have electronic components as well as mechanical parts. Inspection can help identify contamination, battery leakage, or wear that may affect operation. Cleaning requirements vary by movement, so the watch should be checked before work is recommended. The assessment can clarify whether cleaning is suitable or if a different repair approach is needed.

Movement Inspection

If your watch is losing time, stopping, or behaving inconsistently, a movement inspection can help identify possible causes. The watchmaker checks its operation and condition, then explains suitable next steps. Inspection does not guarantee a particular diagnosis, but it gives you a clearer understanding of whether cleaning, servicing, or repair may be appropriate.

Watch Service Advice

Not every watch needs the same work, and symptoms can have more than one cause. Share how the watch is performing and any service history you know. A watchmaker can assess its condition, explain available options, and help you decide what to do next. This is a practical first step if you are unsure whether cleaning is needed.
