A Full Service watch repair is a comprehensive maintenance procedure designed to restore your timepiece to its optimal operating condition. Over time, the internal lubricants within a mechanical movement can dry out or attract dust, which increases friction and accelerates wear on the delicate moving components.
During a Full Service, a watchmaker completely disassembles the movement to clean, inspect, and re-lubricate every individual part. This thorough process helps prevent mechanical failure, ensures accurate timekeeping, and extends the overall lifespan of your timepiece.
