About: watch repair
A watchmaker replaces batteries, crystals, crowns and straps, sizes metal bracelets, services mechanical and automatic watches and renews gaskets to restore water resistance. Before summer many people bring watches in to check the seals for swimming in the sea, and old family watches often go in for cleaning and oiling. For luxury brands, ask whether the watchmaker uses original parts.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a battery change take?
Usually a few minutes while you wait, unless the case needs special tools or a water-resistance recheck. A mechanical service takes much longer.
Can I swim with my watch after a battery change?
Only if the gaskets were checked or replaced and, ideally, the watch was pressure-tested. Ask specifically, since opening the case can break the seal.
Is it worth servicing an old mechanical watch?
Often yes, especially for sentimental pieces, but it depends on whether parts are available. The watchmaker will open it and tell you what it needs.
What affects the price?
The movement type (quartz, mechanical, automatic), brand, availability of original parts and how neglected the watch is. Complications like chronographs add work.
Is there a warranty on repairs?
Many watchmakers guarantee their service or the replaced part, but terms vary. Ask how long it lasts and get it in writing.
