Technical Capabilities That Matter

Unlike Typical Repair Facilities

01

Standard watch repair shops often lack access to genuine manufacturer parts, substituting aftermarket components that compromise originality and future value. crownwyt maintains authorized supplier relationships ensuring authentic replacements.

02

Most facilities employ technicians trained primarily on quartz movements, lacking the specialized education required for complex mechanical calibers. Our watchmakers complete multi-year Swiss apprenticeships focused exclusively on mechanical horology.

03

Traditional repair shops may lack specialized equipment for proper diagnosis and testing. crownwyt invests in professional-grade timing machines, ultrasonic cleaning stations, and vacuum drying chambers matching manufacturer service centers.
