Caring for your watch, Properly
Watch Repairs & Servicing
A well-made watch is designed to be worn and relied upon every day.
Over time, even the finest timepieces benefit from careful attention - not only to maintain their performance, but to preserve their condition and character.
Lister Horsfall - Servicing in Halifax & Ilkley
At Lister Horsfall, we offer watch repairs and servicing in Halifax and Ilkley, supporting our clients in looking after everything from everyday watches to more specialist and luxury pieces. As trusted retailers of brands including Rolex, Breitling, TUDOR, TAG Heuer, Longines, Tissot, NORQAIN, Garmin and Gucci, we understand the importance of proper aftercare - and the value of a watch that is working exactly as it should.
Maintaining Performance
Looking After Your Watch
Over time, even the finest timepieces begin to show subtle signs of wear.
Not always visibly - but within the movement itself, where oils degrade and components slowly wear with use. It’s all part of a watch being worn and enjoyed.
Servicing isn’t always about fixing something that’s broken. It’s about maintaining what’s already there - preserving accuracy, reliability and the feel of the watch as it was intended.
Expert Attention
Servicing
A full service is designed to bring a watch back to its best, both inside and out.
Depending on the watch and its condition, this may include:
- A full inspection and initial assessment
- Careful disassembly of the movement
- Cleaning of components using specialist techniques
- Replacement of worn parts where needed
- Reassembly and precise regulation
- Case and bracelet refinishing, if required
- Testing for timekeeping and water resistance
Every step is carried out with attention to detail, ensuring the watch is returned in excellent working order.
Trusted Specialists
Watch Repairs & Everyday Maintenance
Not all watches require a full service. Often, smaller adjustments or repairs are all that’s needed.
We regularly assist with:
- Watch battery replacement
- Resealing
- Strap and bracelet adjustments
- Case and bracelet refinishing
- General repairs and assessments
- Watch valuations for insurance or probate
Many of these services can be carried out or arranged directly through our Halifax and Ilkley showrooms.
