Essential Watch Components

Watch Stem and Crown Repair is Two small, yet essential components of mechanical watches include the stem and crown. While adding to the aesthetics of a watch, both work together to control watch movement and can become damaged over the years. They play a pivotal role in setting time, date, and other functions. Stem and Crown Repair, a specialized service offered by Watch Technicians, can be the answer to your problem.

The crown and stem are engaged when winding a watch, setting time, or adjusting the date; often the only manual control over many watches. With constant use, wear and tear, damage or even loss of these parts can occur, causing your watch to be susceptible to water, dust, and other particles. It’s the first line of defense between the inner workings of a watch and anything outside that could damage the mechanical parts inside.

Comprehensive Watch Stem Repair

In addition to replacing damaged parts, technicians will address any other underlying issues that may have led to the initial damage. Be it a problem with the watch case or an issue with the internal mechanism, your technician will provide a solution to make sure that the problem doesn’t occur again in the future.

Before returning your watch to you, a final series of tests are conducted to confirm the function of the new parts and ensure it is not only keeping the correct time but also remains water resistant, if it was rated as such. This comprehensive approach encourages longevity and functionality of your timeless piece. We want you to leave with something that looks good and works as it should!
