Professional Care for Luxury & Mechanical Watches

Maintaining Accuracy, Reliability & Longevity

At Clarindon Jewellers, our Watch Servicing & Repair service supports the long-term performance, accuracy, and reliability of luxury watches. Whether addressing routine maintenance, mechanical issues, or wear-related repairs, our approach is measured, transparent, and aligned with professional standards.

Watch servicing is preventative care — not just a response to problems.

Why Watch Servicing Matters

Luxury watches are precision instruments made up of hundreds of moving components. Over time:

  • Lubricants degrade

  • Components wear through friction

  • Seals lose effectiveness

  • Accuracy can decline

Regular servicing helps prevent avoidable damage and extends the working life of the watch.

What Watch Servicing Typically Includes

Subject to movement type and condition, servicing may include:

  • Full movement disassembly

  • Ultrasonic cleaning of components

  • Replacement of worn consumable parts (where appropriate)

  • Lubrication to correct standards

  • Regulation and performance testing

  • Case resealing and water-resistance checks (if applicable)

Scope is confirmed before any work begins.

Watch Servicing & Repair FAQs

How often should a watch be serviced?

Intervals vary by movement type, age, and use. This is discussed individually.

Does a watch need servicing if it’s keeping time?

Yes. Internal wear occurs even when performance appears normal.

Will servicing make my watch like new?

Servicing restores function, not age. Cosmetic wear is normal.

Can vintage watches be serviced?

Often yes, but suitability and risks are assessed individually.

Is water resistance guaranteed after servicing?

Water resistance can be tested but is never permanent.

Will servicing increase the value of my watch?

Not necessarily. Servicing supports function and confidence, not guaranteed value increase.

Is there any obligation after assessment?

No. Assessment does not obligate work.
