Premier Craftsmanship for Every Watch Movement
From Maintenance to Restoration
Servicing a watch movement is much like tuning a high-performance engine—routine lubrication prevents friction, while complete caliber overhauls resolve internal mechanical wear. Whether servicing a quartz circuit or rebuilding an automatic movement, our certified watchmakers deliver precise care to safeguard your timepiece’s accuracy and power reserve.
Access to Genuine
Brand-Name Parts
Restoring a malfunctioning or stopped watch movement requires exact replacement components engineered specifically for your watch caliber. Installing worn, altered, or non-matching movement parts can cause gear train binding, inconsistent amplitude, and severe power reserve loss. Our horological sourcing specialists connect directly with factory-authorized networks to acquire genuine mainsprings, escape wheels, balance springs, balance staffs, circuit boards, and stepper coils tailored to your movement reference.
Whether servicing an ETA, Sellita, In-House manufacture caliber, or vintage quartz movement, we ensure every installed replacement component meets original factory tolerances. If you need assistance sourcing specialized caliber parts for a rare or discontinued watch model, please feel free to Contact Us.
State-of-the-Art
Watch Repair Service Center
Disassembling, cleaning, and regulating a watch movement demands specialized horological bench equipment and ultra-clean environments. Inside our specialized Watch Repair Service Center, watchmakers work at dedicated horological benches equipped with multi-stage ultrasonic cleaning baths, automated epilame coating stations, and precision micro-lubrication systems.
Following reassembly, every movement undergoes multi-position timing regulation using digital Witschi timing analyzers to monitor beat error, rate deviation, and balance wheel amplitude. This technical testing infrastructure guarantees that your timepiece leaves our lab running within factory-standard timekeeping specs.
Vintage or Specialized
Movement Services
Servicing a vintage or discontinued mechanical movement requires specialized watchmaking skills that go beyond modern component swapping. Older calibers often suffer from dried-out oils, worn pivot jewels, or fatigued mainsprings, with replacement parts long out of production. Our senior watchmakers utilize traditional horological techniques—including jewel setting, pivot polishing, and custom component fitting—to breathe new life into vintage hand-wound and early automatic movements.
We preserve original caliber integrity while restoring smooth winding, proper power reserve, and reliable timekeeping. To explore our full historical restoration capabilities, visit our Vintage Watch Services page, or feel free to Contact Us to consult on your antique timepiece.
Magnetism, Moisture & Impact Damage to Calibers
When a watch is exposed to strong magnetic fields, accidental water entry, or hard physical shocks, internal movement components bear the brunt of the damage. Magnetized balance springs stick together causing extreme fast running, while water intrusion oxidizes delicate steel pivots and pinion teeth. Hard impacts can shear balance pivots or displace train wheel arbors.
Our technicians perform full movement diagnostics to identify latent damage, demagnetize hairsprings, strip away rust, and replace compromised train components before executing a fresh overhaul. If your watch stopped running following an impact or moisture exposure, feel free to Contact Us to discuss movement recovery options.
Our Watch Movement Repair Services
Movement servicing ranges from simple quartz circuit checks and train wheel clearing to complex automatic overhauls and multi-position timing adjustments. Whatever your caliber needs, our certified watchmakers apply exact horological skill to restore peak timekeeping accuracy.
Types of Watch Movements We Service
The internal movement, or caliber, is the mechanical or electronic engine driving your timepiece. Our certified watchmakers are trained to service all major caliber architectures:
- Manual (Hand-Wound) Movements: Traditional mechanical calibers powered by manually winding the mainspring via the crown. Servicing restores smooth winding resistance, corrects mainspring barrel tension, and calibrates escapement impulse.
- Automatic (Self-Winding) Movements: Mechanical calibers featuring an oscillating rotor that winds the mainspring through wrist movement. Overhauls focus on servicing reversing wheels, rotor bearings, power reserve systems, and train wheel friction points.
- Quartz & Electronic Calibers: Battery- or solar-powered movements regulated by a vibrating quartz crystal. Services include circuit board testing, stepper motor cleaning, train wheel lubrication, gear clearing, and fresh battery installation with water-resistance testing.
Master Horology: Precision Caliber Overhauls & Movement Restoration
Executing specialized watch movement repairs demands total mechanical mastery across every generation of horological technology. Whether servicing a traditional hand-wound manual caliber, an intricate automatic chronograph, or an electronic quartz, solar, or kinetic movement, our certified watchmakers perform complete overhauls tailored to your specific watch engine. Every service begins by stripping the movement down to its bare mainplate, bridges, train wheels, and balance assembly for multi-stage ultrasonic chemical cleaning—purging degraded lubricants and microscopic wear particles—while electronic and solar calibers undergo circuit testing, gear train clearing, and power cell replacement.
During reassembly, our horologists apply caliber-specific synthetic lubricants to jeweled friction points and regulate mechanical balance assemblies on digital multi-axis timing machines to guarantee factory-grade accuracy, amplitude, and minimal beat error. Whether executing a routine caliber service or custom-fitting rare vintage components, all re-casing takes place inside cleanroom environments, concluding with multi-atmosphere pressure testing to ensure your fully restored movement remains completely protected against moisture and environmental exposure.

Have Watch Movement Repair Questions?
A complete movement overhaul is a full diagnostic and mechanical restoration of your watch engine. The process includes:
- Complete Disassembly: Stripping the movement down to individual gears, arbors, plates, and jewels.
- Ultrasonic Cleaning: Washing all components in specialized chemical baths to strip away old, hardened lubricants and micro-debris.
- Inspection & Replacement: Checking gear teeth, pivot jewels, mainsprings, and winding components under magnification, replacing worn parts.
- Precision Reassembly & Lubrication: Applying high-grade synthetic horological oils (such as Moebius) to specific friction points.
- Demagnetization & Timing Calibration: Regulating beat error, amplitude, and rate accuracy across multiple positions on digital timing machinery.
Watch movement repair pricing depends on the caliber type, brand, complexity (such as date, chronograph, or GMT complications), and required replacement parts. Baseline starting prices for standard overhauls include:
- Quartz Movement Service: Starting at $199
- Automatic Mechanical Service: Starting at $299
- Manual Hand-Wound Service: Starting at $399
Mechanical movements generally require servicing every 3 to 5 years. Signs that your caliber needs attention include:
- Gaining or losing significant time each day (outside factory specs)
- Noticeable drop in power reserve (watch stops overnight)
- Stiff, gritty, or non-responsive feeling when winding or setting time
- Condensation or fogging visible beneath the watch crystal
- Watch stops intermittently while being worn
