A customer's watch was repaired the other day.
It may be a coincidence, but requests for repair of shell dials have been increasing recently.
The Hermès Clipper is still a popular series,
The shell dial made of mother-of-pearl is a rare model.
I got excited when I received your request!!
I've written about it on my blog several times before,
Naturally, shell dials are made from natural materials, so each piece has a different expression.
However, since the material is "seashell", it cannot be said that it is strong.
If the tool hits it when removing the needle, the dial may crack.
Of course, the dial may crack due to a drop or impact.
Regular shops often refuse to repair watches made of these materials.
However, our partner craftsman has a tool to remove the needle for the shell dial, so
We can also handle repairs with confidence.
However, the labor charge from the staff is a little high because special tools are used.
Customers are not billed for this amount.
I have purchased a watch before,
The main reason is that we value our watches and want to respond to our feelings.
This time
Overhaul (including battery replacement) ¥16,500
New finish ¥11,000
Total ¥27,500
Now you can use it for a long time!
Even though it is a quartz watch, it needs an overhaul.
Rather than doing it regularly,
If the battery does not work properly after replacing the battery, I think there will be no problem if you request an overhaul.
Of course, if the circuit is damaged and needs to be replaced,
Old quartz watches may not be repairable,
Movements such as clippers and Cartier quartz are often in circulation, so
I think it will give me a little peace of mind when doing repairs in the future.
The exterior has been well maintained, so
Your customers will surely be happy with this.
I'm really looking forward to receiving the watch!
