The history of Garrard watches
George Wickes (1698–1761) founded the company in 1722. Previously it was known as Asprey & Garrard Limited. The first official jewellery of the Crown Jewels, Gerrard is known worldwide as a fine jeweller and designer and manufacturer of silverware. In the 1970s they produced a range of watches that were often given as presentation pieces from large companies such as British Leyland and British Steel.

Garrard maintenance and care tips
Setting the time.
If you need to change the time on your watch, it is advised to avoid manually doing so during the times of 10pm and 2am. This could interfere with the setting of your watch as this is when the date is automatically due to change.
Garrard winding.
It is also advised that you do not deliberately shake a self-winding watch to wind it. This movement will be ineffective and could potentially damage your watch.
Garrard recommends for maximum performance of your timepiece that users wind their watches before they reach the end of their power reserve.
If your mechanical watches have manual winding – it may need to be wound daily. This process will give your watch enough sufficient power to function correctly. If you are manually winding your watch, you must do this by turning the crown clockwise as far as it will go. This must be done gently; therefore, it is advised not to force it when it reaches this point. By putting too much pressure on your timepiece, you may be damaging the movement. At Repairs By Post, we provide Garrard watch repair which will have your watch back up and running in no time at all.
If you are the owner of a self-winding mechanical watch, it will have an additional mechanism which will allow it to be automatically wound through the natural movement of the wrist.
If your watch has stopped or not worn for several days, this may mean it must be rewound using the crown. This will ensure the watch continues to function during periods of low activity (e.g. when sleeping).
It is advised that 20 turns of the crown are essential to provide your watch with plenty of energy. Keep in mind that the power reserve of a self-winding mechanical watch can vary depending on the movement of its wearer’s wrist.
CLEANING A Garrard WATCH
If you are cleaning any type of watch, care should be taken. Garrard metal and rubber bracelets and water resistant cases can be cleaned using a toothbrush. The process for cleaning a Garrard watch is relatively simple, and the Garrard official website recommends using a little bit of soapy water and drying with a soft cloth.
A Garrard watch should always be cleaned after contact with seawater. In this case, you should always rinse your Garrard watch with fresh water. Like every watch brand, to keep your Garrard watch in pristine condition, it is recommended to avoid chemicals and cosmetics. Make sure that when you are wearing your Garrard watch that you are avoiding contact with solvents, detergents, fragrances and cosmetics.
HOW LONG DOES A Garrard BATTERY LAST
The battery life of a Garrard watch is 2.5 years. This is the average battery life of most watch brands typically between 2 - 5 years. This is for a new watch and variable depending on the model, amount of energy required by its various functions and what functions you use. It can also depend on how-long your watch was running before you purchased it. After your Garrard battery is replaced you should expect a lifespan of about 2 years from the replacement battery, before it dies again.
The great thing about this brand is that there are no guessing games when it comes to battery life. Garrard watches have a battery EOL indicator which stands for “End of Life”. This means that when the second hand begins to jump in four-second intervals, it is time for your watch to be sent away for watch maintenance. At Repairs By Post, we provide Garrard battery replacement.
Garrard WATCH DAMAGE
Timepieces are fragile pieces of jewellery which can be damaged if they are exposed to extreme conditions. If your watch undergoes violent impact, Repairs By Post recommend that your watch is checked by a member of our watch specialist team.
Watches can also be sensitive to thermal impacts; therefore it is advised that when wearing your Garrard watch that you avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures that are above 60°C or below 0°C.
If your watch is exposed to a sudden change in temperature, for example, a sauna or diving into cold water after exposure to the sun, it could damage the movement of your watch.
WATER RESISTANCE FOR Garrard WATCHES
Water resistance is added to protect your watch. However, it may wear off over time; therefore, you should always be careful with your water-resistant timepiece. To keep your watch safe in the water, DO NOT use pushers while you still emerge in water.
If you watch is certified as water resistant, to avoid water penetration that could result in a break in the mechanics of your watch, it is essential that you do not use pushers when the watch is in contact with water.
Garrard WATCH STRAPS REPLACEMENT
At Repairs By Post, we can replace the straps of multiple watch brands including Garrard watch straps. Leather watch straps can be maintained by avoiding contact with water or sweat.
Garrard BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Once you watch reaches the time to have its battery replaced, it is telling you that it needs to be sent away for watch repair. Your watch should be sent for maintenance as soon as possible as it will avoid the risk of any leakage. This could damage the movement of your watch, and that is why we recommend not leaving a completely discharged battery in your watch.
Make sure Garrard battery replacement is carried out by a professional watch repair service. At Repairs By Post, we have been recommended by hundreds of customers and guarantee that your repair will be completed to a high quality standard in a reasonable amount of time.
