Swiss watchmaking is a blend of artistry, precision, and tradition. From its humble beginnings in the 16th century to its dominance in the global luxury watch market today, Switzerland’s watchmaking industry has continually evolved, setting new standards for craftsmanship and innovation.

Many modern watches come with water-resistant ratings, but maintaining this feature over time requires careful attention. Even a watch designed for diving can lose its resistance to moisture if not properly cared for.

With the right maintenance practices, you can significantly extend the longevity of your watch strap, ensuring it stays comfortable, stylish, and durable for as long as possible.

At SHWR we specialise in servicing high-end watches with meticulous attention to detail. But how much does it cost to service a luxury watch? What factors influence the price?

Unlike quartz watches that rely on a battery, automatic watches use a self-winding mechanical movement powered by a rotor, a mainspring, a gear train, and a balance wheel and escapement.

In this article, we’ll explore the lifespan of watch movements between services, the signs that indicate your watch needs attention, and how SHWR ensures your timepiece remains in optimal condition.
