All mechanical watches require periodic service every 3-5 years to maintain
the longevity of the watch, even if the watch is running fine. Parts wear out
and need replacement or repair with original spare parts. For vintage
watches in particular, the right care over a period of time will ensure they are
running smoothly is essential to retain their aesthetic and economic value.
Once your watch has arrived in our Service Center, our team will inspect it
and provide you with an estimated time and cost for the requested work.
From basic services to extensive overhauls and repairs, our watchmakers
have the expertise to service your watch to your satisfaction.
At Momentum, we respect the entire history of watchmaking (even the
quartz-powered age) and are equipped to service all quartz watches and give
them a fresh battery.
A battery change is a minor service that includes cleaning the battery
contacts and depending on the watch, a water pressure test will be
performed. For water adventures, the pressure test is a must but even in
humid and dusty environments, this is a highly recommended step.
Polishing is the process of removing small scratches and light dents. Our
workshop is equipped to bring worn watch cases and bracelets to their
former glory. In serious cases of large dents or deformations resulting from
an accident, we are able to reconstruct and detail parts of the case or
bracelet using the same advanced technology that can be used to freshen up
a watch.
When restoring vintage watches, polishing is very carefully considered in
order to maintain the original condition of the watch. Our team will happily
guide you on the best way to proceed with restoring your vintage watch.
Through years of wear and exposure to different environments, watches can
tend to look dirty, dull and worn. In most cases, a thorough cleaning can
result in making them look beautiful again - no polishing required.
Our Watch Spa consists of six individual steps designed to bring the overall
look of your watch back to its former glory.
1. Dismantle all case and bracelet parts
2. Ultrasonic cleaning in special cleaning liquids
3. Steam cleaning
4. Replacement of all case gaskets
5. Assembly of the case and bracelet
6. Water pressure test
Momentum offers an authentication service for all vintage and modern
wristwatches, in order to assess potential purchases, for insurance purposes,
or for your own records. The watch will undergo a full inspection conducted
by skilled and experienced watchmakers. This will be reflected in a full
Condition Report, along with an indication of replacement value.
