Professional Services
Servicing
At EWS we aim to offer a repair service of the highest possible quality to our clients. Typically a watch sent to us for servicing will firstly undergo estimation, from there the necessary work to be undertaken will be appropriately assessed.
Once the level of service has been agreed, the watch movement will be completely disassembled and the case sent to our polishing department for restoration (if requested). The movement will then be cleaned using either Ultrasonic or Vibrasonic technology. All parts are inspected for signs of damage or wear and where necessary will be changed by hand.
Once the watch has been assembled all of our watches are timed in five positions and then tested for power reserve on both the Cyclo testing machine and the wrist. If the watch is a water resistant model, an air test will be carried out to assess the water resistant properties of the watch case. Once again we manually replace all the gaskets to ensure that the integrity of the case is not compromised. The watch will then be monitored for up to ten days to assess its overall performance.
