Owning a Hamilton watch isn’t just about keeping time; it’s about embracing a legacy of precision, craftsmanship, and style.
But even the best watches can run into trouble. From minor scratches to complex mechanical issues, Hamilton watches sometimes need expert care to keep them ticking perfectly.
That’s where Its About Time Inc. comes in. Let’s break down the most common repairs we handle and how our expertise makes all the difference.
Why Hamilton Watches Require Specialized Repairs
Hamilton watches are more than just timepieces—they’re intricate works of art with finely tuned mechanics. Whether it’s a quartz model or a self-winding automatic, these watches demand specialized tools and expertise to maintain their integrity.
General repair shops might lack the know-how to service luxury watches like Hamilton. For instance, improper handling during a battery replacement could damage the movement, or subpar materials might compromise the watch’s water resistance. At Its About Time Inc., we use only high-quality parts and follow rigorous repair standards to protect your investment.

Common Hamilton Watch Repairs
Battery Replacement
If your Hamilton quartz watch has stopped ticking, the battery is likely the culprit. A dying battery may cause inconsistent timekeeping or a complete shutdown. Replacing the battery might seem simple, but without proper tools, you risk scratching the case or damaging internal components.
At Its About Time Inc., we ensure a scratch-free replacement and test the battery’s performance to guarantee accuracy. Read about the importance of professional battery replacements.
Crystal Replacement
Scratches or cracks on your watch crystal can ruin its elegant appearance and expose the dial to potential damage. Whether your Hamilton uses sapphire, mineral, or acrylic crystal, replacing it requires precise handling.
We specialize in matching and installing the correct crystal for your Hamilton, restoring its flawless look. Our team ensures the replacement maintains the watch’s water resistance. Dive deeper into dial, crown, and crystal repairs.
Bracelet and Strap Repairs
A worn-out strap or a broken bracelet clasp doesn’t mean your watch is done for. From leather straps to metal bracelets, we can repair or replace components to keep your Hamilton looking stylish and secure on your wrist.

Movement Repairs and Overhauls
The movement is the heart of your Hamilton watch. If it’s running fast, slow, or not at all, it’s time for a professional evaluation. Over time, dirt and wear can impact performance, making regular servicing essential.
Our experts can clean, lubricate, and recalibrate your watch’s movement to restore its accuracy. Whether it’s an automatic or mechanical model, we have the expertise to get it back in shape.
Water Damage Repair
Water-resistant doesn’t mean waterproof. If moisture sneaks into your watch, it can corrode internal parts and fog up the crystal. This is an urgent issue that requires immediate attention.
We thoroughly clean and dry affected components, replace damaged seals, and pressure-test the watch to restore its water resistance. Learn more about the effects of water damage on watches.
Crown and Stem Repairs
The crown and stem allow you to wind your watch and adjust the time. If they become loose, bent, or broken, you’ll struggle to operate your Hamilton properly.
At Its About Time Inc., we repair or replace crowns and stems with precision to ensure seamless functionality. We also test the watch to verify its performance after repairs.
Preventing Common Hamilton Watch Repairs
While repairs are sometimes unavoidable, proper care can minimize the need for them. Here are a few tips to keep your Hamilton in top shape:
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures or magnetic fields.
- Store it safely in a protective case when not in use.
- Schedule regular servicing every 3-5 years to address wear and tear.
