SERVICE AND
SERVICE INTERVALS
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.
You can find the list of our Official Retailers and Service
Centres at www.alpina-watches.com.
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.
