Typically, a watch battery will last approximately one year. However, as watches age they may drain the battery more quickly, and some watches drain the battery more quickly than others.

We recommend changing your battery about once per year as batteries sometimes can leak and damage the movement. Only those qualified to do so should change your battery. We often repair watches that have been damaged when changing the battery or by installing an incorrect battery.

If your watch has been damaged by water, bring it in and we will dry it out in order to prevent rust from forming.

Your watch is not waterproof unless it is a specialty divers watch that is periodically serviced and pressure tested. A properly sealed watch simply means the watch is water resistant. Moisture can enter the watch through the openings, around the glass face, through the stem, or through the back of the case. Gaskets deteriorate and wear out; to maintain water resistance those seals need to be replaced. It is best to keep all watches away from moisture.

We also service premium watches including: Rolex, Omega, Baume Mercier, Cartier, Concord, and Tissot. Watches are sent to a professional Swiss watchmaker for repairs. Prior to shipping, a deposit is required in order for the watch to be seen and checked by the watchmaker for needed repairs. An estimate will be provided before beginning any repairs. When repairs are done, the deposit will be applied to the cost of repair. When sending your watch away please allow 2-3 weeks time depending on the availability of necessary parts.

At this time we do not service clocks.
