Watch Repair Service and RestorationIf the dust, moisture, impacts, and vibrations don’t wear down your wristwatch, then the everyday mechanical strain placed on its moving parts will. It’s a fact of time; eventually, even the most elegant of timepieces wear out. Entropy doesn’t discriminate between Rolexes and Casios. Preventative upkeep is the key to your timepiece’s longevity. Just like an automobile, a regular cleaning and maintenance schedule will extend its life and improve its performance. And just as a Lamborghini’s finely-tuned engine probably needs an expertise beyond the local shop’s capabilities, your precision watch needs the unparalleled knowledge of a master watchmaker. |

A machine as complicated and intricate as a Cartier or Audemars Piguet demands the care, experience, and patience of Manhattan Time Service. Each and every watch that graces our watchmakers’ tables is personally inspected and cared for by one of our master watchmakers. Our process is exacting because our reputation is unmatched.
1.) The watchmaker opens the case back and removes the movement
2.) The mechanism is entirely taken apart; the parts subjected to the greatest stresses are replaced, including the mainspring and the automatic winding mechanism’s reverser wheel.
3.)Without exception, all parts are carefully cleaned by our state of the art, computer-operated cleaning machine.
4.) Our technicians then painstakingly reassemble the movement. During the reassembly phase, the watchmaker judiciously lubricate various parts, using only the specified types of oils, in the exact recommended quantity and method of application as specified by the original maker.
5.) The technician returns the optimally lubricated movement to its case. The watch is then placed on a computerized timing machine, where its rate is tested and adjusted until it falls within specific tolerances.
6.) Finally, the watch is subjected to a visual inspection and a strict check of its technical functions. In order to ensure accuracy and perfect reassembly, an automatic watch winder simulates a 4-day period of everyday use.
After your watch has been cleaned and repaired by the latest scientific methods, under the purview of some of the finest craftsmen in the world – after it has been adjusted and checked for defects in workmanship – after a visit to Manhattan Time Service, you will own a timepiece as close to the original watchmaker’s image of perfection as it can ever be.
Because we believe in the perfection of our master watchmakers’ work, and because our customers’ perception of that work is of the utmost importance, we guarantee our work one year (1 year) from the date the watch is returned to their rightful owner.
