Watch repair in Zurich — FAQ
Why should I replace a cracked watch crystal immediately?
A cracked crystal allows dust, moisture, and dirt to enter the watch, which can damage the hands, dial, and delicate movement inside. Replacing it quickly prevents more costly internal repairs.
What are the different types of watch crystals that can be replaced?
Watch crystals are typically made of acrylic, mineral glass, or sapphire crystal. A watchmaker can identify the original material and install a matching replacement during the repair.
Can a scratched watch crystal be repaired instead of replaced?
Light scratches on acrylic crystals can sometimes be polished out. However, deep scratches or cracks in mineral glass and sapphire crystals usually require a complete replacement to ensure structural integrity.
Will replacing the crystal affect the water resistance of my watch?
A proper crystal replacement involves installing new gaskets and testing the case to ensure the water resistance remains intact. Professional workshops use specialized equipment to test this seal.
