Watch Service & Repairs

Professional Watch Servicing & Repairs at Clarindon Jewellers

Luxury watches are remarkable pieces of engineering designed to last for generations. However, like any precision instrument, they require regular servicing and occasional repair to maintain their performance and appearance. At Clarindon Jewellers, we offer professional watch servicing and repair services designed to preserve the reliability, accuracy, and longevity of your timepiece.

With over 35 years of combined experience in luxury watches and fine jewellery, our team understands the craftsmanship and technical expertise behind mechanical and quartz watches. Whether your watch requires routine servicing, adjustment, or more detailed repair work, our approach ensures every timepiece is handled with the care and attention it deserves.

Regular watch servicing helps maintain accuracy, protects the movement from unnecessary wear, and ensures your watch continues to perform as it was originally designed.

Why Watch Servicing Is Important

Luxury watches contain intricate movements made up of many small components that work together to measure time with remarkable precision. Over time, the lubricants inside the movement naturally begin to dry, and components may experience gradual wear.

Without regular servicing, this wear can affect the accuracy and reliability of the watch. Professional servicing ensures that the movement is cleaned, lubricated, and adjusted to maintain optimal performance.

Routine servicing also allows specialists to inspect seals, gaskets, and external components, helping preserve water resistance and protecting the watch from environmental damage.

For most mechanical and automatic watches, manufacturers typically recommend servicing approximately every 3–5 years, though this may vary depending on the model and how frequently the watch is worn.

Our Watch Servicing Process

Watch servicing is a detailed and specialised process designed to restore the performance of a timepiece while preserving its original craftsmanship.

A typical watch service may include:

Movement Disassembly
The watch movement is carefully dismantled into its individual components.

Ultrasonic Cleaning
All parts are cleaned using specialised equipment to remove old lubricants and debris.

Inspection of Components
Each component is inspected for wear or damage to ensure proper functionality.

Replacement of Worn Parts
If necessary, worn components are replaced to maintain the performance of the movement.

Lubrication and Reassembly
The movement is carefully reassembled and lubricated using specialised watch oils.

Regulation and Timing Adjustment
The watch is tested and adjusted to ensure accurate timekeeping.

Case and Bracelet Cleaning
The exterior of the watch may also be cleaned and polished where appropriate.

This meticulous process ensures that the watch operates correctly and maintains its precision.

Watch Repairs

In addition to routine servicing, watches may occasionally require repairs due to accidental damage, worn components, or general wear over time.

At Clarindon Jewellers, we can assist with a wide range of watch repairs, including:

  • Replacement of damaged watch crystals

  • Crown and stem repairs

  • Bracelet or strap repairs

  • Movement adjustments

  • Battery replacement for quartz watches

  • Water resistance testing

  • Replacement of worn seals or gaskets

Each repair is assessed individually to determine the most appropriate solution while preserving the integrity of the timepiece.

Mechanical and Automatic Watches

Mechanical and automatic watches represent the traditional art of watchmaking. These timepieces are powered by complex mechanical movements composed of gears, springs, and precision components.

Because of their complexity, mechanical watches require periodic servicing to ensure that the movement continues to operate smoothly and accurately. Proper maintenance helps prevent excessive wear and preserves the value of the watch over time.

Our watch servicing process ensures that these intricate movements receive the specialist care required to maintain their performance and reliability.

Quartz Watch Maintenance

Quartz watches use electronic movements powered by a battery and are known for their accuracy and convenience. Although quartz watches typically require less maintenance than mechanical watches, they still benefit from periodic inspection.

Battery replacements, gasket checks, and water resistance testing help ensure that quartz watches continue to function reliably.

At Clarindon Jewellers, we can assist with routine maintenance for quartz watches to ensure they remain dependable and well maintained.

Caring for Your Watch

Simple care and maintenance can help preserve the condition of your watch between professional services.

We recommend:

  • Avoid exposing watches to strong magnetic fields

  • Protecting the watch from extreme temperatures

  • Ensuring the crown is properly secured

  • Cleaning the case and bracelet periodically

  • Having the watch inspected if accuracy changes

Taking these precautions can help maintain the performance and appearance of your watch for many years.
