Here's a detailed process for cleaning and polishing a watch recently brought in by a customer:
Initial Inspection:
The watch is examined to assess its condition, noting any scratches, marks, or areas requiring special attention.
Disassembly:
If necessary, the watch is carefully disassembled to access all components, including the case, bracelet, and any removable parts.
Surface Preparation:
Before polishing, the surfaces are prepared by removing any dirt, grime, or residue using specialized cleaning solutions and tools. This ensures that the polishing process is effective and doesn't embed debris into the metal.
Polishing:
The watchmaker begins the polishing process using various abrasive compounds and polishing tools to remove scratches and restore the shine to the metal surfaces. Different grits of abrasive compounds may be used depending on the severity of the scratches.
Detailing:
Areas that require special attention, such as intricate designs, engravings, or textured surfaces, are carefully polished by hand to preserve their detail and integrity.
Ultrasonic Cleaning:
After polishing, the watch parts are thoroughly cleaned using an ultrasonic cleaning machine. This removes any remaining polishing compounds, dirt, or contaminants from the watch components, ensuring a pristine finish.
Rinsing and Drying:
The watch parts are rinsed with clean water to remove any residual cleaning solution and then dried using lint-free cloths or air blowers to prevent water spots.
Reassembly:
Once the components are clean and dry, the watch is carefully reassembled, ensuring that all parts fit together correctly and are properly aligned.
Final Inspection:
A final inspection is conducted to verify that the watch has been cleaned and polished to the customer's satisfaction. Any remaining imperfections or areas requiring touch-ups are addressed at this stage.
Protective Measures:
Depending on the customer's preferences and the type of watch, additional protective measures may be applied, such as applying a protective coating to the polished surfaces to help maintain their shine and protect against future damage.
Packaging and Delivery:
Once the cleaning and polishing process is complete, the watch is carefully packaged to prevent damage during transportation and returned to the customer, along with any relevant documentation or care instructions.
Throughout the entire process, it's essential to handle the watch with care and precision to avoid damaging delicate components or altering its appearance in any undesirable way. Additionally, communication with the customer regarding their preferences and expectations is crucial to ensure their satisfaction with the final result.
