Step 1

Personalized Diagnosis

Prior to service, the timepiece undergoes a thorough inspection process by our Watch Service Manager to evaluate the performance and aesthetics of the timepiece.

Step 2

Complete Disassembly

Our watchmakers begin by removing the bracelet and opening the case to remove the movement. The case and movement are then completely disassembled piece by piece.

Step 3

Movement Cleaning

With the movement fully dismantled, each individual component is ultrasonically cleaned in specially formulated solutions.

Step 4

Replacing Components

Our watchmakers closely examine each component to identify those requiring replacement. Any worn components are replaced using only genuine replacement parts.

Step 5

Reassembly & Lubrication

While reassembling the movement, each functional component is carefully lubricated using advanced synthetic lubricants to minimize friction and wear.

Step 6

Timing Calibrations

Our watchmakers meticulously adjust the balance wheel and electronically test its timing accuracy to ensure proper timekeeping precision.

Step 7

Polishing & Refinishing

Using specialty compounds and polishing equipment, our watchmakers meticulously refinish and polish the case and bracelet to restore its original luster.

Step 8

Case Reassembly

The case of the timepiece is carefully examined, all seals are replaced to ensure the integrity of its water resistance, and the case is reassembled.

Step 9

Water Resistance Testing

Consisting of a vacuum test, compression test and a condensation test, this process will reveal the presence of even the smallest amount of moisture inside the case.

Step 10

Final Quality Control

Rigorous quality checks are carried out and verified against manufacturing specifications to guarantee the highest standard of quality.
