Behind the Loupe: On-Time, Precise and Local Monterey Peninsula Watch Repair

Sure, we all carry phones with digital time displays. But there is something special about wearing and caring for a beautiful timepiece. Not only does my watch become part of my routine, I truly believe these are wearable pieces of art!

When it comes time for watch care, you can count on Devine & Co to provide same-day local service—before your wrist even knows it’s gone.

Basic Watch Care

  1. Spot clean with a microfiber cloth and a bit of water when necessary—never use soap!
  2. Keep your watch wound and try to do it at the same time every day.
  3. When it comes to waterproofing or other claims, don’t push your watch’s limits.
  4. Visit your trusted private jeweler for more thorough cleanings or watch repair.

Watch Repair

Some claim a watch will tell its wearer when it needs watch repair; it may begin to slow down or the date fails to change. When these symptoms start to show, it’s best to take your treasured timepiece to a professional who can help diagnose the issue.

Watch repair technicians may need to disassemble your watch to access the delicate inner-workings—a job best performed by a local jeweler you can trust. At Devine & Co, I can help you get back to your routine, whether you have a piece with complex mechanical movements or a modern quartz watch. 

Battery Replacement

Need battery replacement for your watch while on the go? Devine & Co offers same-day watch battery replacement for clients within a 10-mile radius of Monterey, California.

Whether you are visiting the Monterey Peninsula or have lived here for years, my private jeweler services extend to convenient and timely watch battery replacement services for you.

Appraisal

Knowing the value of a timepiece is useful for many situations, whether the watch is lost or stolen or will someday be included as estate jewelry. An appraisal provides a crucial, objective number for the value of your watch. 

Be sure to find an appraiser who follows rigorous grading standards, like the Gemological Institute of America. Devine & Co. uses Registered MasterValuer and National Association of Jewelry Appraisers standards. Your jewelry appraisal is always executed according to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and U.S. FTC guidelines.
