Preventative Maintenance and Lubrication
Preventative maintenance is essential for keeping your watch in optimal condition. Regular servicing, cleaning, and lubrication help prevent wear and tear, reduce friction within moving parts, and minimize the risk of costly repairs or parts replacements over time. Our preventative maintenance services are designed to extend the lifespan of your timepiece, ensuring that it maintains accuracy and efficiency. During maintenance, our experts disassemble the case, clean and inspect each component, and apply high-quality lubricants to protect the internal mechanisms. This process safeguards delicate parts from damage and prevents issues caused by dust, moisture, or improper handling.
Many watch owners overlook the importance of routine servicing until a major issue arises. At Chicago Clock Company, we help you avoid unnecessary expenses through proactive care. Our technicians recommend a service interval based on your watch’s make, model, and usage. Whether you wear your watch daily or only on special occasions, regular maintenance will preserve its precision and beauty for years to come.
Watch Battery Replacement
Battery replacement is one of the most common watch services we perform, and it requires more care than most people realize. Our specialists handle battery changes with meticulous attention to ensure that your timepiece remains sealed, moisture-resistant, and properly powered. We use only premium-grade batteries that meet manufacturer standards and are installed using professional-grade tools to prevent damage to the case or movement. If your watch has stopped or is running irregularly, bring it in for a quick battery evaluation. In most cases, we can replace your battery while you wait, restoring your watch to reliable performance in minutes.
Complete Cleaning and Restoration
Over time, dirt, oil, and debris can accumulate inside a watch, affecting its movement and accuracy. Professional cleaning is a key component of proper watch care. At Chicago Clock Company, we use ultrasonic cleaning and precision techniques to remove all contaminants without harming the delicate mechanisms inside. After cleaning, we reassemble and test your watch to ensure every component functions perfectly. For vintage or heirloom watches, our restoration services bring cherished timepieces back to their original beauty and performance. We treat every restoration project with respect for the craftsmanship and history of your watch. From polishing cases and refinishing dials to replacing crystals and gaskets, our technicians apply both traditional techniques and modern technology to deliver outstanding results.
Watch Band and Crystal Replacement
A damaged band or scratched crystal can make even the finest watch appear worn and neglected. Our team provides professional watch band replacement and fitting services to restore your watch’s appearance and comfort. We offer a wide selection of quality straps and bracelets, including leather, stainless steel, and specialty materials designed to complement your watch’s design.
If your watch crystal is scratched, cracked, or fogged, we can replace it with precision-cut materials that restore clarity and protection. Using the correct crystal size and shape is crucial for maintaining the watch’s integrity and water resistance. Our technicians ensure every replacement matches the original specifications and finish of your timepiece.
Mechanical and Automatic Watch Repairs
Mechanical and automatic watches require specialized knowledge and attention to maintain their intricate movements. These watches are marvels of engineering, composed of hundreds of tiny components that must work in harmony. Our technicians have years of experience servicing Swiss, Japanese, and other precision-made mechanical watches.
We perform complete overhauls, including disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning, lubrication, regulation, and reassembly. Each movement is tested for accuracy and performance to ensure it meets or exceeds factory standards.
