Horological Essence Renata – Clock & Watch Movement Cleaning Solution

Description

Uses for Horological Essence

Horological Essence Renata is suitable for cleaning:

• Clock movement components
• Watch movement components
• Hairsprings
• Fine and delicate mechanical parts
• Precision horological components
• Small metal components during clock and watch restoration

It is particularly useful where a controlled cleaning process is required for small components that may be unsuitable for more aggressive cleaning methods.

Cleaning Hairsprings & Delicate Components

Renata Essence is especially useful for hairspring cleaning and degreasing. Hairsprings are delicate precision components and should be handled carefully throughout the cleaning process.

The short soaking method allows individual components to be treated separately before being removed and drained, helping to minimise unnecessary handling.

How to Use Horological Essence Renata

1. Part-fill a clean jar or suitable container with Horological Essence Renata.
2. Place the components carefully into the essence.
3. Leave the components to soak for approximately 1–2 minutes.
4. Remove the components carefully using suitable tweezers.
5. Allow the components to drain onto a clean piece of paper.

For delicate horological components, handle the parts carefully with suitable tools and avoid unnecessary contact with fingers.
