A watch beside the water
A watch worn along Marina Walk or on JBR beach meets humidity and salt air every day. Moisture does more harm to a movement than most owners realise, and it usually gets in at a seal that has aged without anybody noticing, long before any mark appears on the dial or under the crystal.
Yachting and watersports bring tests of their own, from spray on deck to a quick dip in the sea. Water resistance is checked as part of a full service here, which is the moment to find out whether a gasket, crown or case back is still doing its job.
Many in the Marina's expat community spend part of the year elsewhere, so a watch is easier to look after when the work can be planned around a trip. Message us before you travel, describe what the watch has been through, and we will talk through when to bring it in.
Our services in Dubai Marina
Five disciplines, one atelier, each with its own page for clients in Dubai Marina.
Watch Servicing
A service for a Marina watch includes a water-resistance test, an important check for a watch that meets damp sea air daily.
Watch Polishing
Remove the dulling and fine scratching that salt, sand and sunscreen leave on a case and bracelet.
Watch Repair
If moisture has got into a watch, early examination makes the difference between a quick fix and a larger repair.
Watch Repinning
Salt and sweat work on bracelet pins and springbars, so a periodic look at them is worth having on the waterfront.
Watch Authentication
Moving to or leaving the Marina often means buying or selling watches, and an independent examination protects both ends.

Questions from Dubai Marina
Does humidity damage a watch in Dubai Marina?
It can. Humid air and salt reaching a movement through an ageing gasket or crown can lead to corrosion and stopped watches. A service checks the seals and tests water resistance so that problems are found early.
Should I wear my luxury watch swimming at the Marina?
Only if it has been checked. Water resistance fades as seals age, so we advise having it tested before you rely on it near the sea. A watchmaker will tell you what your watch can sensibly take.
Can I bring a watch after a boat trip or a day at JBR?
Yes. If a watch has been exposed to water or is showing moisture under the crystal, message us promptly. Early examination gives it the best chance of a simple remedy.
