How Our Watch Repair Process Works

Transparency and technical excellence are at the core of everything we do. When you bring your watch to KIA Jewelry, here's exactly what happens — step by step:

Step 1 – Free Diagnosis & Estimate

Our watchmaker examines your timepiece — no charge, no obligation. We assess the movement type, identify the fault, and provide you with a clear, upfront quote before any work begins. You're always in control.

Step 2 – Case Opening & Inspection

Using specialized case-opening tools appropriate for your watch brand — whether a screw-back, snap-back, or pressure-fit case — we open the watch carefully without scratching the case back or bezel. We then inspect the movement, dial, hands, and seals under magnification.

Step 3 – Precision Repair or Servicing

For battery replacements, we install the correct cell (SR626SW, 371, 395, or any brand-specific cell) and immediately test voltage output. For movement servicing, we disassemble the calibre, ultrasonically clean all components, replace worn parts (jewels, mainspring, gaskets), re-lubricate with watchmaker-grade synthetic oils, and reassemble to manufacturer spec. Timing accuracy is tested on a watchmaker's timing machine.

Step 4 – Water Resistance Re-Testing

After re-sealing, water-resistant watches undergo a pressure test to confirm the case integrity is restored. This step is critical and often skipped by non-specialist shops — we never cut corners here.

Step 5 – Quality Check & Return

We run your watch for a minimum 24-hour rate test before return to confirm timekeeping accuracy. When you pick it up, we walk you through exactly what was done — because an informed customer is a confident customer.
