Of all the jewelry one can own, perhaps nothing makes as much of a statement as a luxury wristwatch. It goes far beyond communicating the wearer’s personal style; it speaks to their appreciation for quality craftsmanship, innovative design and artistic expression.
Aside from serving an obvious function and elevating any outfit in the here and now, fine watches make treasured family heirlooms and often become collector’s items, as they frequently increase in value over time. They have a storied history of being used to mark special occasions, milestones, and even reaching a certain station in life, and they will keep on ticking for years with proper maintenance.
But whether your luxury timepiece needs a routine cleaning or it has suddenly stopped performing its job, it should only be entrusted to a watch repair specialist who will respect and care for it as much as you do. After all, there is often as much emotional value as there is financial importance strapped around your wrist.
Maintenance
Much like a car, a watch has a lot of moving parts that require maintenance to continue to perform optimally. While some watches just need a new battery every so often, others should be completely disassembled every four to six years, so that all of the parts and pieces can be inspected for damage, wear, and proper lubrication. A fine watch specialist can delicately replace any damaged parts, reassemble the timepiece, and make sure everything is running precisely and smoothly upon completion.
Repair
If something on your watch is broken and affecting its appearance or ability to keep time, it is also likely that it will have to be disassembled to some degree. Look for a certified watch specialist who not only has the skills to repair the intricate machinery, but who will treat your watch with the utmost care and sensitivity
