Luxury watches are more than just timepieces, they're investments, heirlooms, and symbols of craftsmanship. Whether you own a Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer, or another premium brand, regular watch servicing is crucial to keep your timepiece running smoothly. At Tic Toc Man, based in the heart of Hatton Garden, we specialise in watch repair in London, offering expert care from fully trained watchmakers with decades of experience.
But how do you know when your watch needs servicing, and is it really worth it?
What Does Watch Servicing Include?
A full watch service is much more than just a quick tune-up. Here’s what we do at Tic Toc Man during a standard service:
-
Complete disassembly of the movement
-
Ultrasonic cleaning of all components
-
Replacing worn or damaged parts (with genuine parts where possible)
-
Reassembly, lubrication, and adjustment of the movement
-
Pressure testing (for waterproof models)
-
Polishing and refurbishment of the case and bracelet (if requested)
-
Final testing and time regulation over several days
This process ensures that your watch performs at its best and retains its value, especially important for models like the Rolex Submariner, Omega Speedmaster, or TAG Heuer Carrera.
Is It Worth Getting a Watch Serviced?
Absolutely! Especially if you're wearing or storing a watch with significant financial or sentimental value.
Servicing protects your watch from premature wear and internal damage. Neglecting maintenance can result in more costly watch repairs down the line. We regularly see watches that could have avoided major repairs with earlier intervention.
For collectors in London, keeping a full service history can also enhance the resale value of a timepiece—particularly with sought-after brands like Rolex, Omega, and TAG Heuer.
How Often Should I Service My Watch?
As a general guide:
-
Mechanical watches (manual or automatic): every 3 to 5 years
-
Quartz watches: battery every 1 to 2 years, full service every 5 years
-
Diver’s watches: pressure testing recommended annually
However, the best way to know is to pay attention to your watch. Here are some signs it may need servicing:
-
Losing or gaining time consistently
-
Moisture inside the crystal
-
A grinding or unusual sound when winding
-
Buttons or crowns feeling stiff or loose
-
The second hand stuttering or jumping erratically
If you notice any of these, bring your watch to our Hatton Garden workshop for a free inspection.
