Watch repair in Seattle — FAQ

What does a standard Luxury Watch Servicing include?+

A standard service typically involves disassembly of the movement, ultrasonic cleaning of all parts, lubrication, reassembly, and rigorous timing tests. Water-resistance testing and case cleaning are also standard parts of the process.

How often should I schedule a Luxury Watch Servicing for my timepiece?+

Most manufacturers recommend having your watch serviced every three to five years. This interval helps ensure that the lubricants do not dry out and the internal components do not experience unnecessary wear.

Why is water resistance testing important during watch repair?+

Over time, the protective gaskets in a watch can degrade, letting in moisture and dust that damage the movement. Testing ensures these seals are intact and capable of protecting your watch under specified depths.

Can mechanical and automatic watches be serviced?+

Yes, both mechanical and automatic watches require regular servicing to maintain their accuracy. Technicians calibrate the escapement and balance wheel to ensure steady timekeeping.

What are the signs that my watch needs immediate repair?+

If your watch is gaining or losing significant time, has moisture under the crystal, or the crown is difficult to turn, it requires immediate attention. Delaying a service when these signs appear can lead to more serious internal damage.
