Watch Oiling and lubrication

Watch oiling involves applying specialized lubricants to the moving parts of a mechanical watch’s movement, such as gears, pivots, and the escapement. These lubricants minimize friction, prevent wear, and ensure accurate timekeeping. Mechanical watches, particularly those with complex movements, may have dozens of components requiring lubrication. Over time, lubricants can dry out or become contaminated, necessitating a professional service to clean and reapply oils.
