All repairs are professionally carried out by an exclusively trained team at an authorised service centre. The team is on hand to help with everything from a watch strap adjustment to a full service. All work is sensitively and professionally carried out at our secure specialist workshop. 

How to tell if your watch needs a service or repair 

Your watch will need either service or repair at some point in its life. Oftentimes, this will be because your watch is not running well or on time, or it has suffered damage that needs expert repair. 

The general rule of thumb is getting your watch serviced every two to five years, but there are many factors that might mean your watch requires service or repair earlier or more frequently. How often you wear your watch and the conditions in which you wear it will affect its everyday functions and wearability. 

Watch overhaul 

A watch overhaul is your watch’s first inspection and will assess the extent of the repair and service necessary. 

Watch battery replacement 

Battery replacement and reseal prices start from $25 and depend on the watch brand and model. 

Watch cleaning 

To properly clean your watch, it will be taken apart into its individual components so everything can be given a thorough polish and clean. The utmost care is taken and specific machines and tools are used on the different parts of your watch. 

Watch case repair 

This includes maintenance and professional polish of your watch ‘encasing’ – including the dial, hands and movement. 

If you believe your watch requires a service not listed here, please contact us so we can advise accordingly.
