Watches are little machines, have moving parts and
are susceptible to the affect of heat, moisture and magnetism. They
run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year after year after year... There are
oils placed on the pivots of most wheels inside the watches and over time these
oils go off, just as they would in any machine. Once the oils have spoilt they
will turn from a lubricant into an abrasive and can wear out the wheels or the
plates that the wheels run into.
All watch manufacturers will recommend that their
watch has a maintenance service regularly. With an service/overhaul, the
movement is completely disassembled, cleaned, oiled and timed. The case and
band are cleaned & a new battery fitted (if the watch has a quartz
movement). Watches need an overhaul on average between every 5 to 7
years.
