The Amber Story | Renata Batteries

GET CASH FOR YOUR BROKEN GOLD

The Renata® brand name is reputed for its quality. It is fabricated in Switzerland under extremely stringent quality controls. Made of durable construction, Renata® batteries will not leak under normal conditions. Contrarily, its generic counterparts, specifically of the Korean and Chinese variety have earned disrepute due the lack of quality control and substandard manufacturing.

At Bijouterie Guru, we replace watch batteries in the thousands every year. Here is what we have learned in the last 15 years. Our statistics show a very high percentage of leakage with generic watch batteries, especially those made in China. Careful examination of watches where these batteries are found, show clear undisputed evidence of leakage in our day to day experience. We have even found that some unscrupulous Jewellers, are regularly using generic batteries as replacements, for their customers.

Battery acid leakage, skin acid infiltration and water infiltration are responsible for watch movement malfunction. These acids are corrosive, causing movements to rust beyond repair. We have tested the Renata® batteries with our clientele for 15 years with consistent results, year after year.

How to ensure long life for your watches:

Insist on Renata® batteries for your watches.

The words “water resistant” does not mean water proof. Keep away from water.

Do not pull out the crown to save the battery life. Opening the crown also opens it to air. Water (H2O) is an inherent component of Air. It is this water component in the air that causes movements to rust.

Ask your Jeweller to replace the original gasket of your watch back with every battery replacement.

Do you have high acid perspiration? Then you must be buying a new watch every year! If you are tired of replacing watches then, the next time you buy a watch, we recommend that you keep in mind the following:

Buy all Stainless Steel or all Titanium watches. This means that all parts i.e. bracelet, crown, case, and back cover should be in Stainless Steel. Buy only water proof watches. (Screw Back and Screw Crown). Available at our outlet.
