-Decased Cartier Calibre
Gray & Sons takes pride in giving every watch, including the Cartier Calibre W7100016, a meticulous overhaul and detail to ensure it looks and runs like a brand-new watch. This commitment to excellence is crucial in preserving the quality and precision of these high-caliber timepieces.
When a watch arrives at Gray & Sons for servicing, it is treated with the utmost care and professionalism. Factories often recommend servicing automatic watches every 3-5 years to maintain their accuracy and reliability.
So, what does this comprehensive watch servicing process entail?
First, the skilled watchmakers at Gray & Sons open the case back of the watch to assess if there are any rusted or damaged parts that need attention. In the case of the Cartier Calibre W7100016, it may require cleaning, re-lubrication, and polishing to restore its original luster.
Once the evaluation is complete, the watchmaker begins the meticulous process of dismantling the watch, separating the movement, crystal, and watch stem from the case and bracelet. The case, link bracelet, and buckle are carefully prepared for polishing, while the watchmaker works on evaluating and servicing the movement, piece by piece.
Identifying which watch parts need sourcing is a critical step, and Gray & Sons ensures that screws, springs, pivots, and plates are prepared for cleaning. The watch parts undergo a thorough cleaning process using six different cleaning solutions in an ultrasonic machine to remove dirt, dust, and dried oils from every crevice.
After cleaning, the watchmaker starts to reassemble the movement by adding lubricants where necessary and replacing all gaskets to maintain water resistance.
This painstaking process can take anywhere from two to five hours per watch, assuming no interruptions and that all parts continue functioning as expected.
While the watchmaker focuses on the movement, the watch's exterior undergoes a rejuvenation process. Surface scratches are expertly removed by a skilled polisher, and the case receives a refreshing bath in an ultrasonic machine followed by a thorough rinse and drying.
Once the movement is reassembled and the watch is cased, it's time for the final steps of the repair process. Prior to returning the watch to its owner, Gray & Sons executes a rigorous quality control process to ensure the watch is running as precisely as possible.
This quality control involves measuring the watch's amplitude using specialized machines that listen to the heartbeat of the watch. Water resistance is also thoroughly tested using a machine that simulates a deep plunge with air pressure to check for leaks.
Furthermore, all complications of the watch are meticulously checked for proper functioning. For the Cartier Calibre W7100016, this includes verifying the minute hand, hour hand, date wheel, and seconds subdial. If both timekeeping and water resistance tests pass, the watch is placed on a winding wheel for observation, mimicking the movement of the wrist for 6-8 hours.
Following this rigorous testing phase, the watch must rest and run for the next 24-48 hours to ensure its accuracy is up to par. This step ensures that the watch not only keeps accurate time but also acquires power seamlessly during daily wear.
Additionally, through this machine, the durability of the watch is analyzed, ensuring that the movement functions smoothly without being startled by any natural jagged movements of the wrist.
The complete restoration process at Gray & Sons can take up to 8 weeks, a testament to the dedication and precision required to bring these luxury timepieces back to their full glory.
In the world of luxury watches, the Cartier Calibre W7100016 is a symbol of elegance and precision. And when it comes to preserving the integrity of such exceptional timepieces, Gray & Sons' expertise and commitment to excellence shine through, ensuring that these watches continue to tell the story of craftsmanship, performance
and timeless beauty for generations to come.
