We show our prices — from S$390 for a standard IWC overhaul. You receive a written quotation and approve it before a single screw is turned. No hidden costs, no surprises at collection.
IWC Calibre Experience
Our watchmakers are experienced with IWC's in-house calibres including the 52000 series (Portugieser automatic), 69000 series (chronograph), 82000 series (Portugieser thin), and 35000 series (Portofino). Complications including perpetual calendar and annual calendar are accepted.
Replace Only What's Needed
Brand service centres mandate replacement of entire component assemblies regardless of condition. We assess each part individually and only replace what is genuinely worn — keeping your cost down and preserving original components.
Pressure Testing
Water-resistant IWC models including the Aquatimer, Ingenieur, and Pilot's Watch are pressure-tested after service using our advanced pressure test machine — verifying seal integrity before the watch is returned to you.
2–4 Weeks, Not 6 Months
The IWC Service Centre typically takes 3–6 months — your watch is couriered overseas and joins a long service queue. We service your IWC here in Singapore and return it in 2–4 weeks.

4 Signs Your IWC Needs Immediate Service
If your IWC is gaining or losing time noticeably, the movement may need regulation, lubrication, or demagnetisation — especially critical for chronometer-grade Portugieser models.
Condensation under the sapphire crystal indicates a failed seal. Bring your IWC in immediately — moisture inside the movement causes corrosion that becomes significantly more expensive to repair over time.
IWC Portugieser and Big Pilot models are known for their 7-day power reserve. If the watch stops earlier than expected, the mainspring or winding system may be worn and due for service.
A grinding noise when winding, or a rattling rotor, indicates worn components. The IWC screw-down crown on Aquatimer models should operate smoothly — stiffness may indicate a damaged crown tube or worn threads.
