Breathe New Life Into Your Timepiece With Professional Movement Cleaning

Precision servicing that restores the heartbeat of your watch — trusted by watch owners across Kenya.

Every mechanical and automatic watch relies on a finely tuned movement — a complex assembly of gears, springs, jewels, and oils working in perfect harmony. Over time, dust, moisture, and degraded lubricants accumulate inside the movement, causing friction, inaccurate timekeeping, and eventually serious wear. At watches247care, our professional movement cleaning service dismantles, thoroughly cleans, and re-lubricates every component of your watch’s movement to factory-level standards, giving your timepiece the care it deserves.

Whether you own a cherished heirloom, a high-end Swiss automatic, or a reliable daily-wear mechanical watch, routine movement cleaning is the single most important service you can invest in. Our certified watchmakers in Kenya combine decades of hands-on experience with industry-grade ultrasonic cleaning equipment to deliver results that are precise, reliable, and long-lasting. Trust watches247care to treat your watch not as a commodity, but as the precision instrument it truly is.

Our Process

Step 1: Initial Inspection & Diagnosis

Your watch is carefully examined by one of our watchmakers who assesses the condition of the movement, identifies any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage, and provides you with a full written diagnosis along with a transparent service quotation before any work begins.

Step 2: Full Movement Disassembly

The watch case is opened and the movement is carefully removed and fully disassembled under magnification. Every individual component — including the mainspring, gear train, escapement, and balance wheel — is catalogued and laid out for thorough inspection and cleaning.

Step 3: Ultrasonic Cleaning & Drying

All movement parts are placed in our professional ultrasonic cleaning system, which uses high-frequency sound waves in a specialised cleaning solution to safely remove old lubricants, oxidation, and microscopic debris. Components are then carefully rinsed and dried to prepare them for reassembly.

Step 4: Lubrication, Reassembly & Timing

Fresh, grade-specific lubricants are applied to all required friction points, and the movement is expertly reassembled. The watch is then tested on a precision timing machine to verify that it is running accurately within manufacturer tolerances before being returned to you in pristine condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a watch movement be cleaned?

For most mechanical and automatic watches, a professional movement cleaning is recommended every three to five years. However, if your watch is running significantly fast or slow, has been exposed to moisture, or has not been serviced in many years, we recommend bringing it in for an inspection sooner rather than later.

Will movement cleaning improve my watch's timekeeping accuracy?

Yes, in most cases it will. Degraded lubricants and accumulated debris are among the most common causes of poor timekeeping in mechanical watches. After a thorough cleaning and re-lubrication, the vast majority of watches show a marked improvement in accuracy, often returning to manufacturer specifications.

How long does a movement cleaning service take at watches247care?

The typical turnaround time for a movement cleaning service is three to seven business days, depending on the complexity of the movement and whether any additional parts need to be sourced. We will give you a clear estimated completion time when you drop off your watch, and we will keep you updated throughout the process.
