Watch Movement Overhaul in Canada
1 certified shop
A Movement Overhaul is a comprehensive service designed to restore the mechanical heart of your timepiece to its optimal working condition. Over time, the internal lubricants within a watch movement can dry out or become contaminated with microscopic debris. This process can cause friction, leading to timing inaccuracies or complete mechanical failure.
During this specialized watch repair procedure, the movement is completely disassembled. Each individual component is carefully inspected for wear, thoroughly cleaned in specialized solutions, reassembled, and precisely lubricated. Chronoever helps you locate verified professional watchmakers who perform this meticulous service to preserve your timepiece.
