LONGINES Servicing
Our watchmakers have been trained and are certified by LONGINES to be able to carry out work on your LONGINES watch to the highest standard in our LONGINES Approved Service Centre. Our Level 3 accredited workshop has been inspected by LONGINES to ensure it has the tooling and equipment necessary to carry out servicing on your LONGINES watch as if it were sent to LONGINES directly.
The Process
Cleaning of the Movement
The oils are lubricants which keep your watch running dry out over the years affecting its performance. A special ultrasonic machine is used to remove all the old residues and any other accumulation.
Replacement of Worn Components
Each individual part is inspected for wear under high magnification. Any worn parts from years of use which may affect the functioning of your watch are replaced with genuine LONGINES parts.
Battery Replacement
Should your LONGINES run on a battery operated movement, the battery is replaced as part of the complete service. We offer the battery replacement service as a partial service as well.
Reassembly and Lubrication of the Movement
To ensure smooth functioning of your watch, lubrication is meticulously carried out of each jewel (the part within which each wheel rotates), under a high magnification microscope to ensure optimum long term performance.
Adjustment of the Movement and Control of Its Parameters
Specialist equipment which gives a graphical representation of the functioning of your watch is used to regulate your watch according to strict LONGINES quality standards.
Reassembly of the Case With Water Resistance Testing
The casing of your watch is reassembled, replacing the necessary seals and gaskets to ensure water resistance of your watch to required LONGINES specification.

Several tests are performed to ensure your LONGINES is functioning within the required parameters which includes time keeping and power reserve testing (mechanical watches).
