Glycine
Curated service providers experienced with Glycine.
How you service a Glycine depends mostly on its age.
Modern Glycine service
Glycine was founded in Switzerland in 1914 and has been owned by the Invicta Watch Group since 2016. Every Glycine carries a 2-year international warranty against manufacturing defects. Glycine says it operates a single authorized service center for all official repairs, and its service request link goes to the International Watch Service Center (IWSC), which takes watches by mail. Glycine notes that shipping and evaluation fees may apply.
Vintage Glycine Airman service
Vintage Airmans are a specialist job. Movements vary by era: collectors report Felsa calibers in 1950s pieces and the A. Schild 2063 in 1970s pieces. The Airman's unusual hacking mechanism stops the watch with a small wire at the 24 o'clock position, and collectors describe its parts as very hard to find. Collectors advise finding a watchmaker who has serviced Airmans before you buy, not after.
Before you ship, ask
- Have you serviced this Airman movement before?
- If the hacking lever or wire is worn, can you repair or remake it?
- Will you keep the original dial, hands and bezel untouched?
- Will I get a written estimate before work starts?
