The Different Types of Watch Repairs: What You Need to Know

Why maintain your watch regularly?

A watch is a precision mechanism that requires regular maintenance to ensure its proper functioning and extend its life. A professional watch service can detect and resolve problems before they become serious.

The most common watch repairs

Depending on the wear and specific needs of your watch, several types of repairs can be carried out:

Battery change: Essential for quartz watches, battery replacement must be carried out by a professional to avoid damaging the mechanism.
Precision adjustment: A mechanical watch can lose or gain time. Professional adjustment ensures optimum accuracy.
Complete overhaul: Includes disassembly, cleaning, lubrication and assembly of the movement to ensure perfect operation.
Glass Replacement: If scratched or broken, the glass can be replaced to protect the dial.
Polishing and Restoration: A watch can be polished to restore its original shine and remove micro-scratches.
Bracelet replacement: Leather, steel or rubber, the bracelet can be changed for renewed comfort and aesthetics.
Water Resistance: A waterproof watch must be tested and readjusted regularly to ensure its water resistance.
