Our Service Solutions
From routine servicing to careful estate watch revival, we provide comprehensive care tailored to your timepiece's needs.
Return HomeOur Approach
Every watch that arrives at Meridian receives individual assessment and appropriate service. We don't apply a one-size-fits-all methodology. Instead, we evaluate each timepiece's condition, history, and your goals as the owner, then recommend the service level that best addresses those factors.
Our three core services—Swiss Movement Service, Water Resistance Restoration, and Estate Watch Revival—represent different levels of intervention. Some watches need comprehensive movement servicing. Others primarily require seal replacement and water testing. Inherited timepieces often benefit from our preservation-focused estate service. We help you understand which approach suits your watch.
All our services follow established horological principles. This means complete disassembly when servicing movements, multi-stage cleaning processes, calibrated lubrication, and thorough testing. We document our work and provide service summaries that detail what was performed and the results achieved.
Service Details
Swiss Movement Service
A complete service following Swiss horological standards. The movement is fully dismantled, each part cleaned in a multi-stage ultrasonic bath, and reassembled with calibrated lubrication.

Key Benefits
- Thorough cleaning removes accumulated debris and dried oils
- Proper lubrication reduces friction and wear
- Timing adjustment improves daily accuracy
- Service summary with timing results included

Water Resistance Restoration
A focused service for dive watches and water-resistant models that have lost their seal integrity.

The case is then tested using dry air pressure and wet vacuum methods to verify water resistance to the rated depth.
Key Benefits
- All seals replaced with proper specification parts
- Dual-method testing verifies water resistance
- Corrosion from past moisture addressed
- Peace of mind for daily wear
