The main servicing procedure
- A Complete Service involves the watchmaker checking the watch’s functions, diagnosing the cause of any faults.
- Once the case is clean it is reassembled with new seals and gaskets, which are lubricated as required with special greases. The case is now ready to receive the cleaned movement.
- All parts are then cleaned in a series of ultrasonic chemical baths which removes all the old oil, grease and dirt.
- While the movement is being cleaned the case will be completely broken down (case back, bezel, crystal, pushers etc. removed) and, having removed all the seals and gaskets, refinished and cleaned in large ultrasonic tanks.
- Once the case is clean it is reassembled with new seals and gaskets, which are lubricated as required with special greases. The case is now ready to receive the cleaned movement.
- The cleaned movement and pristine components are systematically reassembled and lubricated using up to 8 different fine synthetic oils and greases, before having the dial and hands refitted.
- The watchmaker will now reset the clean movement with the dial and hands mounted into the watch case ensuring there are no hairs or dust in the case and recheck the watch regulation on the timing machine.
- Once the case is closed the watch is then tested for water resistance and the final aesthetic, timekeeping and power reserve checks are made to ensure the watch is performing correctly.

Brief history of JS Watch Company Service
In 2005 four passionate and enthusiastic watch collectors had a dream come true.
Under the guidance of Master-Watchmaker Gilbert O. Gudjonsson they unveiled, after years of preparation, their own collection of mechanical timepieces and JS Watch company was born. Working on their designs for years they were confident the time was right to launch JS Watch co. Reykjavik. Their Icelandic designed and constructed collection had an instant positive impact on the local market which quickly gained international recognition with collectors and connoisseurs of fine mechanical watches.
Their idea of engineering classically inspired designs to modern precision, using finely constructed traditional mechanical calibers adjusted by hand, respecting the watchmaking traditions of the past, has proven successful. Their customers instantly appreciated the personal attention given to them by their fellow watch enthusiasts. The idea of purchasing a watch from a watchmaker had been forgotten in the era of big brands.
All JS Watch co. Reykjavik timepieces are designed and assembled by hand in their studio/workshop located in Reykjavik, Iceland. In their production they only incorporate the highest quality Swiss movements and European made parts and components. Every detail of their timepieces has been given the personal attention needed for perfection. The limited volume of production gives every timepiece a personal character and a true feeling of exclusivity.
