Dismantling of the movement
The dial and hands are removed. The watchmaker dismantles the movement and meticulously inspects the wear of each component. Worn components are replaced.

Cleaning of the movement
The movement's various components are placed in washing baskets and fixed to an ultrasonic machine. Several baths ensure that the components are impeccably clean before reassembly.

Step 6
Reassembly of the movement
All the components are painstakingly assembled by the watchmaker and each point of friction is treated with a special high-quality oil. The tiny drops deposited are practically invisible to the naked eye but are vital to the proper functioning of the movement. A Tissot movement may require more than 80 lubrication operations.

Fitting of the dial and hands
The dial is placed on the movement and the hands are positioned using a press. The watchmaker needs to skilfully position the hands to ensure they are perfectly aligned.

Adjustment of the rate
The newly cleaned case can once again house the movement. The watchmaker adjusts the precision of your Tissot by slightly changing the frequency of the heart of the movement – the balance spring. He then closes the case of the watch.
