Dynamic test

The dynamic test of your watch is an innovative testing of the mechanism performance which is conducted exclusively in our highly equipped lab. The accuracy, the spring power, the escapement system and balancier degrees are tested according to the maintenance specifications of each brand. The whole process lasts only a few minutes and gives the full spectrum of the dynamic function of your watch.

The pressure testing is done with our hi-tech SIGMA water resistance tester in our lab. At the end of the testing you receive a printed report of the water resistant performance of your watch.

How to properly maintain your watch

Small tips for the proper function of your watch.

If it is a quartz watch, meaning with a battery of up to two (2) years, it needs to be changed without wating for your watch to stop. If you do not do this the battery may leak, the circuit may be damaged and the mechanism may be oxidized, resulting in additional cost for its repair.

If your watch is mechanic, meaning selfwinding or manual, a complete service should be conducted every five to six years depending on its use. Mechanical watches have more parts and are subject to more frictions than quartz watches. Also, the special lubricants that manufacturers use lose throughout the years their lubricant capability and as a consequence your watch loses time and may even stop functioning.

It goes without saying that the service will be performed by a specialized watch maker (horloger) and strictly according to the manufacturer's specifications.
