Professional calibration and repair
Solve problems such as watches running too fast, too slow, and being magnetized
How accurate is your watch? An accurate wristwatch is a symbol of reliability. This is an interpretation of the COSC standards. But when you find that it speeds up or slows down by tens of seconds or even minutes every day, this sense of trust will be greatly reduced. Inaccurate timekeeping of a watch not only affects your schedule but may also be a "health warning" from within the movement. Before delving into the topic of "inaccuracy", we first need to understand the physical limits of mechanical watches. Even top-tier wristwatches have a reasonable daily error. The widely recognized Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) certification has a standard of an error of -4 to +6 seconds per day. If the error of your watch far exceeds this range, it is very likely caused by the following reasons. We specialize in handling the accuracy issues of all kinds of luxury watches. Whether it's a sudden timekeeping error or a long-term performance decline, we have the most advanced Swiss calibration instruments and experienced technicians to readjust your beloved watch to its best condition and safeguard its outstanding performance that is accurate to the second.

Watch Accuracy and Calibration - FAQ
A1: Not all. The Observatory Certification (COSC) is an affirmation of the quality of the movement when it leaves the factory. For uncertified watches, we are also committed to tuning them to the best performance of the movement of that model, usually keeping the error within an excellent range of +/-15 seconds per day.
A2: Absolutely not. The professional demagnetization instrument we use can safely remove magnetism within seconds. This is a completely non-destructive physical process to the movement. Do not attempt to "reverse demagnetize" by yourself with a regular magnet; otherwise, it will only make the problem worse.
A4: If it is only for magnetization or minor error calibration, it can usually be completed in a relatively short time. The cost is much lower than that of a full maintenance. The specific time and cost will depend on the actual problems confirmed after the test. We will not proceed with the work until you agree to the quotation.
