How long has it been since you bought the watch you wear every day? One year, three years, five years or more...? You might find that quite a bit of time has passed since you bought it when you check the warranty. Also, have you experienced any minor issues such as "it's running a little slow" or "it's getting dirty"?

At Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 8th Floor = Isetan Men's Residence/Men's Watch Corner, we recommend regular maintenance to ensure your watch lasts a long time and to resolve various problems.
Here, we will introduce some of the most common problems we encounter in stores and how to resolve them.

The basics of maintenance involve an overhaul. Let's give your watch a regular "health check."

Despite their small size, mechanical watches are precision instruments, and we recommend regular maintenance, including disassembly and cleaning (overhaul) . Generally, you should bring your watch in for maintenance every 3 to 5 years after purchase, or if you notice any loss of accuracy.

The basic procedure for disassembling and cleaning (overhauling) a watch consists of seven steps, and most problems are resolved at this stage. Disassembly and cleaning services offered at our watch corner take approximately three weeks from the time we receive your watch until we contact you with an estimate, and the actual maintenance work takes approximately five to six weeks, during which our skilled technicians will carefully adjust your watch.

① Remove the movement from the case.
② Disassemble the parts of the machine (movement)
③ Clean the parts ④ Reassemble the mechanism (movement) while lubricating them
⑤ Cleaning the case and bracelet ⑥ Casing (returning the movement to the case)
⑦ Running test.
In addition to this process, we also perform parts replacement as needed.
