Why Service Your Mechanical Watch?

Your watch "ticks" 432,000 times a day.
Your watch "travels" (combined distance of moving parts) 3,600 seconds a year
Your watch marks 86,400 seconds every day.
Your watch has a balance wheel which vibrates on a spiral hairspring.
The speed of a balance vibrating at a frequency of 28,800 times per hour
is equivalent to a car going 87 mph.
And because your watch, like your car, runs up a lot of mileage,
it needs regular service.

Proper service includes the following:

Complete disassembly and ultrasonic cleaning of the movement to
remove any accumulation of foreign matter.
Inspection and replacement of any damaged or worn parts.
Complete lubrication of the movement, to replace the tiny deposits of oil
that dry up after a period of time.
Electronic regulation of the watch's timekeeping.
Computer resealing of water resistant watches.
