Why it matters

The Importance of Servicing

“A regular service not only keeps your watch running at its best, it also helps prevent long term damage and maintain its value.”

Like a car, watches need a range of oils and lubricants to keep their mechanical parts working.

Usually every 3 to 5 years. If not serviced regularly (usually every 3 to 5 years), these oils start to break down so instead of lubricating the components, they begin to cause wear and damage.
