Careful Diagnosis for IWC Movements & Complications
IWC watches span straightforward hand-wound and automatic movements through to chronographs, calendar mechanisms and specialist sports watches. Accurate diagnosis is essential before servicing begins.
We inspect the movement, automatic winding system, setting and calendar functions, chronograph mechanism where applicable, crown, crystal, seals, case and bracelet before preparing an estimate. Vintage watches are approached with particular care so unnecessary cosmetic changes are avoided.
