Importance of watch maintenance, a take by Kapoor Watch Co.

A watch is a machine, constantly on the run with multiple moving parts. These parts will inevitably take damage and there is nothing you can do to stop it, except for getting it serviced. At the end of the day, a watch is a machine and machines need to be taken care of.

The question is, how can you be certain if your watch needs servicing?

The Best Way To Know

Everyday life takes a toll on watches more than one could imagine. Soaps, hand-sanitizers, cologne, and pollutants can accumulate and cause serious damages to watches. This might eventually result in a need for immediate attention. That is exactly why maestros at Kapoor Watch Co. Service Centre firmly believe that timely watch servicing is highly recommended. So, how do you know it is time?

The Process

Pundits at Kapoor Watch Co. Service Centre have been doing this for quite some time and their take on the topic is insightful. There are a few fundamental questions that can help you determine if it is time to pay the service centre a visit.

Is Your Watch Running On Time?

The most basic question one should ask is whether their watch is still running on time. If nothing seems to be wrong, i.e., the timepiece is running on time and showing no signs of malfunction, your watch is in fine condition. Follow the “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it” philosophy here.

Is It Working The Way It Is Supposed To?

When it comes down to watches, there is a difference between working and working properly. Your timepiece might keep accurate time but there might still be issues with it. You might own a self-winding timepiece that is showing the correct time but the self-winding mechanism might be broken. You can manually wind it and use the watch without any problem whatsoever. However, the fact remains that the automatic winding system is done for.

How Old Is It?

Luxury or not, if there is one question that makes watches more interesting, it’s “how old is it?” The age of a watch matters a lot. It tells you how much time has passed since it was manufactured. In this case, however, we need to know how much time has passed since the watch’s last servicing. As a rule of thumb, get your watch diagnosed at a brand authorized service centre after every 2-3 years.

Getting Your Watch Serviced The Right Way

Well-crafted timepieces are surely created to last life-long. However, due to everyday wear and tear watches come under a lot of duress which causes premature damage. By servicing your watch, you are committing to its health as well as avoiding any possible damage to it. This will not only ensure the value of the timepiece but also help its longevity. So, how do you ensure that?

The most important thing that you need to know is that you always get your watch serviced from a brand authorized service centre. This ensures the safety of the watch as well as quality service.
