Why the maintenance and servicing of your watch is essential for its longevity

Jan 11, 2023

A watch is more than just an accessory; it is a faithful companion that tells us the time throughout the day. Whether it's an expensive designer watch or a budget wristwatch, every watch needs regular maintenance and care to ensure its longevity.

One of the most important components of a watch is its movement. It consists of tiny, moving parts that interact with each other to accurately tell time. However, these parts are prone to wear and tear, especially if they are used frequently or in harsh conditions. Without regular maintenance of your watch, these parts can fail, resulting in inaccurate time display or even complete watch malfunction.

Regular cleaning of the movement can remove deposits and dirt that accumulate over time. These deposits can restrict the movement of parts and affect performance. Thorough cleaning also helps to extend the life of the watch.

Another important element of a watch is the case and bracelet. These parts are often exposed to the elements and can be quickly damaged. Regular cleaning and care of these parts will help keep them in excellent condition and prolong their life.

Another important aspect of maintenance is oiling the watch. Without regular oiling, the movement can wear out, resulting in inaccurate timekeeping or even complete malfunction of the watch. A professional can perform the necessary oiling to ensure that the movement is running smoothly.

In summary, regular maintenance and care of your watch is essential to ensure its longevity. Not only will they help your watch function properly, but they will also prolong its life and ensure that it will be a faithful companion for many years to come.
