Cracked Your Watch’s Crystal? You May Need Watch Movement Servicing
In some cases, when a watch crystal is shattered, it is important to check on the watch movement since microscopic glass or sapphire particles can get into the movement causing damage. This can cause the need for watch movement servicing, and potentially replacement of movement parts.
We offer free standard shipping* and many additional options of insurance plans to keep your precious package safe. *Partnered Stores/Manufacturers may have their own requirements for shipping and/or insurance specifications.
Different Types of Watch Crystals
There are 3 main materials used for watch crystals: acrylic, mineral glass, and sapphire/synthetic sapphire.
Acrylic
Acrylic Crystals are:
The most affordable and the softest material used for watch crystals
Shatter resistant, but they do scratch easily or even crack with a hard impact
Usually able to be buffed out for shallow scratches since it is a softer material
Can be molded into different and unique shapes unlike other crystal materials
Mineral Glass
Mineral Glass Crystals are:
Harder than acrylic crystals
Not able to scratch quite as easily, but can shatter with a hard impact
The most commonly used material for watch crystals today
The most popular crystal choice by manufacturers
Synthetic Sapphire
Synthetic Sapphire Crystals are:
The hardest material used for watch crystals and often labeled as scratch resistant
The most expensive
Is lab grown, but has the same chemical composition as natural sapphire
Sapphire is the second hardest element, with diamond being the hardest.
Synthetic Sapphire crystals can chip or even shatter with a hard impact. Many luxury watch manufacturers use sapphire crystals.
Finding parts for these watches can be a challenge, but our long history with the industry has given us access to great sources.
Our professional parts sourcing team puts every effort into finding the correct and genuine parts for your timepiece. If the parts are no longer available, our certified watchmakers can manufacture some parts if needed.

This particular work order took over a year to fully complete, with the watch being sent back three times for all the work to be done properly. I do understand that this was harder project given that it’s a vintage Russian movement, but I can’t tell you enough how much it meant that you searched all over Russia/Ukraine for the parts needed to complete the work. The watch is running absolutely amazing and can’t believe how good it is running. It’s truly a centerpiece to my vintage watch collection and I absolutely love it. Thanks again for all the hard work and time you put into it and that’s what prompted this message. I do believe in acknowledging hard work and this is truly wonderful. Thank you again and keep up the good work.

Sent my automatic watch to these folks for repair as it was no longer keeping accurate time, they assessed the watch for needed repairs and sent me the estimate which I approved.
About three weeks later I received a email stating that my watch had shipped, they provide a tracking number that I might keep a track of it, upon receiving the watch I inspected it and have to say that they did a beautiful job on the exterior cleaning and polish plus they replaced the clasp, I can only assume that the work done to the movement is of equal quality and detail this will be born out over time as I see how the accuracy is.
They also provided the pressure test ticket in the return package.
I would recommend this company if you have need of jewelry repair.
