Like any other mechanical precision
instrument, it is important to service a
watch at regular intervals to make sure
it performs correctly in time. As a general
rule, and depending on how you use
your watch and the conditions in which
you use it, we advise you to have your
watch serviced every 4 to 5 years.

MECHANICAL WATCHES
The balance wheel in an automatic
Alpina watch swings 28,800 times an
hour and the gear train moves forward
691,200 times in 24 hours. In four years,
this represents over one billion impulses!
We advise you to bring your watch
every 3-4 years to an official Alpina
Retailer or Service Centre, where a
trained watchmaker will meticulously
inspect it before thoroughly cleaning and
lubricating the movement.
