What to expect
What to expect from a mainspring replacement
- Signs it is needed
- A mechanical watch that no longer holds its power reserve, or stops soon after winding, may need a new mainspring.
- Parts depend on the caliber
- Mainsprings are specific to the movement; springs for common calibers are easier to source than vintage ones.
- Often part of a service
- Many watchmakers replace the mainspring as part of a full service rather than as a separate job.
- The watch stays a while
- Because the barrel has to be opened, this is not a while-you-wait repair; expect the watch to stay with the shop.

How long does Mainspring Replacement take?
Mainspring Replacement is not done while you wait, because the barrel has to be opened. It is often carried out during a full service, which sets the turnaround.
What affects the cost of Mainspring Replacement?
The movement and the availability of the correct spring are the main factors, along with whether the watch also needs a full service.
What are the signs a watch needs Mainspring Replacement?
A power reserve that has become short, a watch that stops soon after winding or winding that feels unusual can all point to a weak or broken mainspring.
Can Mainspring Replacement be done on vintage watches?
Usually, but springs for vintage or discontinued calibres can be harder to find, so a watchmaker with experience of that movement is the best choice.
