Ease of repair is one
aspect of quality
A large variety of screws are used in
the making of a watch.
Manufacturing the screws that go
into the movement is far from easy
because they are so numerous, and
they are of many different shapes
and sizes.
At MIYOTA, we make the screws for our
movements in-house. Thanks to this approach,
we can manufacture custom screws that are
precisely adapted to the many different
movements we make. We also make heat-blued
screws. These are harder and longer-lasting
than ordinary screws owing to our patented
version of bluing technology.
We have a deliberate policy of designing our movements
to incorporate a relatively large number of screws. Why?
Because the more screws there are, the
easier the movement is to disassemble
and repair, resulting in a longer life span
for our customers’ watches. Whatever
component we are making, we always try
to think about these kinds of long-term
“what if” scenarios. It is one of the reasons
behind MIYOTA quality.
