Below we list some of the procedures, and we invite you to come in and watch Gabor performing some of them, peering through his loupe, performing micro-surgery on their inner workings. Generally, a watch requires service every five years, or, in the case of silicon movements or bearings which needs no lubrication, every10 years. A good watch, properly maintained, will last more than a lifetime – it will last for generations, despite the remarkable fact that it is in constant operation 24/7 for many years. As a watchmaker for 30 years, Gabor is as passionate about your watch as you are: “ I was always interested in how mechanics worked and when I discovered that they came in such small sizes, that was it, I was hooked.” Many people are surprised to learn that their watch needs service, but in truth, a mechanical timepiece is far more efficient and long-lasting than a car or a household appliance.
