Stem & Crown Replacement

Does your watch refuse to set the time or wind properly? A malfunctioning stem and crown might be the culprit. At Sangamon Watches, we offer expert stem and crown replacement services to restore both the functionality and aesthetics of your timepiece.

Understanding the Stem & Crown:

The crown, often adorned with a logo or design, acts as the control center for your watch. Pulling it out allows you to adjust the time and date, while pushing it back in stops these functions. The crown is connected to the stem, a small rod that transmits your adjustments to the movement within the watch.

Signs You Might Need a Stem & Crown Replacement:

  • The crown feels loose or wobbly.
  • The crown cannot be pulled out to set the time or date.
  • Setting the time or date feels jerky or imprecise.
  • The crown pops out unexpectedly.
