How do I change the battery in a Vivienne Westwood watch?
1 Answer
To change the battery in a Vivienne Westwood watch, you will need to safely and carefully remove the watch case back. Servicing any kind of wristwatch is a complicated task if you are not a jewelry professional. To avoid potentially damaging your luxury timepiece and to ensure it is properly resealed after it is serviced, experts recommend that you consult a watchmaker or jeweler to replace your watch battery.
(Additionally, if you’ve purchased your Vivienne Westwood watch directly from the company, the care instructions provided with your timepiece likely include a discussion of a “two-year guarantee against any defects in workmanship from the date of purchase.” The company’s guarantee will be deemed “void if the product has been taken apart or repaired by anyone other than one of the authorized service centres.”)
Audacious British fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood initially began her career in jewelry, creating necklaces, brooches and other accessories in the early 1960s. Decades later, long after she found herself dressing the Sex Pistols and bridging the gap between music and fashion in a manner that has reverberated throughout the industry for years, Westwood gained recognition for her venturesome work with pearls, upending the legacy of an object that has been synonymous with ladylike elegance since the Tudor period.
