The Certina Biostar is a fascinating watch that embodies the 70s. As we service its futuristic and electronic ESA 9150, see its unique complication.
Stowa Necklace Watch
This lovely watch was inherited by the owner from a grandparent and stopped working after it was dropped - unusual for a watch with incabloc shock settings but not impossible. Upon further inspection, it was found that a previous ‘repairer’ (or watchbreaker) had solved a problem of broken dial feet by simply gluing on the dial. The glue got into the incabloc and the watch stopped being shock resistant, leading to a broken balance pivot. New dial feet need to be properly fitted, as well as the watch being serviced and the balance staff replaced.
