Changing the spring bars of a watch

You can use a pin punch on the pins from pompe-de-montre.com. There you will find many types of watch spring bars compatible with the many watchmaking tools available on our website. If you need spring bars to change a strap or a clasp, you can pick the exact length, diameter and every other spec of the spring bar you need.

Adding a watch strap keeper

With the spring bar tool sold on our watchmaking tools website, you can easily add a watch strap keeper, available from our friends at passant-de-montre.com. Whether your strap is leather, steel, nylon or silicone, passant-de-montre.com will have the right keeper for you. Browse every size and consult their buying guides to avoid making the wrong choice. It is a handy fix to avoid replacing a strap too early when only the keeper is worn out.

Buying a new watch strap

When the issue is more serious than a broken keeper, you may need to swap the watch strap altogether. With a spring bar tool, you can change a watch strap in under 30 seconds. Take the opportunity to inspect the condition of the spring bars inside the strap. If you want to use our tools on quality straps, head over to our partner bracelet-de-montre.com. Find the strap that matches your watch model perfectly. With the many guides and tutorials on the site, you can easily buy a watch strap and give your favourite timepiece a second life.

Replacing the gasket of a watch

Whenever you open a watch with watchmaking tools, always check for the waterproofing gasket. It can be an O-ring, a flat gasket, red or any other shape matching the case-back of your watch. If found, replace it with a new one and lubricate it with the silicone grease we sell in our watch tools category. Usage is simple: place the new gasket in the case, screw or press the case-back, and you are done. Your gasket is now lubricated. For quality watch gaskets, visit our partner joint-de-montre.com.

Replacing a watch crystal

If you wish to replace a watch crystal using our crystal press available in our online watchmaking tool shop, you can also order the matching crystal. Thanks to our partner verre-de-montre.com, swapping a watch crystal takes only seconds. Whether it is acrylic, mineral or sapphire, you will find a crystal for your favourite watch. With UV adhesive, you can even glue a magnifying cyclops over the date for better readability. Find every watch crystal you need on a dedicated site, neatly organised by category.
