There's a truth every watch repair professional eventually learns: the quality of your cleaning determines the quality of everything that follows.
A movement cleaned of old lubricant but still carrying trace oil contamination will perform differently after re-oiling — reduced timing accuracy, compromised waterproofing, shorter service intervals. A perfectly clean movement, on the other hand, is the foundation every other step builds on.
For independent watchmakers and small workshop operators, the flagship PRO model — while powerful — is often well beyond what their actual workload demands. What they need is a machine that is professionally capable, sensibly priced, and easy to live with day in and day out.
The Biaojiang SE is purpose-built exactly for this group.
Is the SE Right for You?
The SE earns a place in your workshop if any of the following apply:
- ✅ You're an independent watchmaker accepting client work, cleaning 5–15 watches per day
- ✅ You recently set up your own workshop and are working within a defined budget
- ✅ Your work primarily covers mid-range to high-end watches, not high-volume batch processing
- ✅ You want equipment that is straightforward to operate, minimizing training time and maintenance overhead
- ✅ You need a machine that will run reliably for five years or more without drama
⚡ Multi-Frequency Ultrasonic: More Than Enough, Never Substandard
The SE uses multi-frequency ultrasonic technology — the same core technology that powers Biaojiang's entire cleaning machine lineup.
What does multi-frequency actually mean in practice?
> Different ultrasonic frequencies generate cavitation bubbles of different sizes. Lower frequencies produce larger bubbles that attack heavy, stuck-on contamination. Higher frequencies create smaller bubbles that reach into micro-fine gaps that larger bubbles simply can't access.
The SE cycles through multiple frequencies during a single cleaning program, which means it naturally adapts across a wide variety of part types and contamination levels:
Component Type | Cleaning Challenge | How Multi-Frequency Handles It |
Case / Bracelet | Sweat, body oils, and debris trapped in brushed surfaces and polished chambers | Low-frequency bursts break down heavy deposits; high-frequency finish pass reaches into grain boundaries |
Movement Mainplate | Caked-on old lubricant and accumulated dust in jewel holes | Alternating frequencies prevent the soil from consolidating into harder patches during the cleaning cycle |
Clasp / Bracelet Links | Dead zones between link pins and surfaces that never see direct fluid flow | Bi-directional waves combined with basket rotation push cleaning solution into every gap |
Hands / Indices | Fine finishing, applied indices, printed dials — surfaces that scratch easily | High-frequency, low-energy final pass cleans without any risk of surface abrasion |
Two Colors: Because a Workshop Machine Can Have Personality
Unlike the PRO, which leans into a deliberately understated professional aesthetic, the SE offers two color — a small but meaningful detail that reflects different workshop personalities:
- Blue: Clean, technical, authoritative. The natural choice for a workshop where you want equipment to look the part alongside professional tools.
- Orange: High visibility. In a workshop full of benches, tools, and spare parts, the SE in Orange is easy to spot quickly — reducing the chance of accidental bumps or misplaced equipment during a busy service day.
One-Touch Operation: Load It, Press It, Walk Away
The SE's operating workflow mirrors the PRO and Basic exactly:
```
Load parts → Select program → Press start → Automated cleaning + drying → Parts ready for next step
```
There is nothing during the cycle that requires:
- Manual mode switching
- Solution ratio adjustment
- Active monitoring or a stopwatch
- Parameter tweaks mid-cycle
For the independent watchmaker who often juggles multiple tasks simultaneously — timing a movement while a cleaning cycle runs, for example — this hands-off simplicity translates directly into a more productive workday.
Dual Basket System: The Right Tool for Every Part Type
The SE is compatible with two types of cleaning baskets:
Standard Metal Basket
- Dense, durable construction handles high loads without deformation
- Ideal for: cases, solid bracelets, heavy movement plates
- Tolerates high-temperature sterilization between jobs
Advanced Polymer Basket
- Lightweight and completely non-conductive — no risk of electrostatic discharge to sensitive components
- Soft, non-abrasive surface that won't scratch polished or gold-plated surfaces
- Ideal for: sapphire crystals, gold-filled or solid gold cases, transparent plastic date discs
The Price That Defines the Entry to Professional Equipment
On the HAVOMEC official retail platform:
Model | List Price | Sale Price |
**SE** | $2,950 USD | **$2,365 USD** |
Basic | ~$3,095 USD | — |
PRO | $3,865 USD | — |
The SE is approximately $1,500 USD cheaper than the PRO. For a solo watchmaker or small shop running 5–15 watches per day, the gap in actual cleaning performance between the two is perceptually negligible. This is why experienced professionals often say: "The SE is the best value in the Biaojiang lineup."
What Customers Say
> *"I am writing to thank you for all your help in delivering this cleaning machine — it has arrived safely! I am beyond impressed by its quality and functions. This is the best investment my business has made all year, and I am telling everyone I know about your product."*
> — M. Thompson, SAWTA Certified Watchmaker
> *"All the tools arrived in great condition. The parcel was smooth and everything is in perfect order. Positive feedback — looking forward to working together again."*
> — A. Panitz, Master Watchmaker
SE vs PRO: A Direct Comparison
Feature | **SE** | PRO |
Multi-frequency ultrasonic | ✅ | ✅ |
Ultrasonic power | — | 330W |
Core frequency | Multi-frequency | 40kHz |
Cleaning jars | — | 4 |
Dual-direction rotation | ✅ | ✅ (80% efficiency boost) |
Adjustable temp drying | ✅ | ✅ |
Heavy-duty base | — | ✅ (53kg) |
Emergency stop | ✅ | ✅ |
Target scale | Small / Personal | Large service center |
Price | ~$2,365 | ~$3,865 |
Bottom line: For a watchmaker running 15 or fewer pieces per day, the SE has no meaningful performance ceiling. Spending an additional ~$1,500 on the PRO buys you extra capacity that a small shop simply won't use.
Two-Year Warranty: Confidence You Can Count On
Every SE purchased through HAVOMEC comes with a two-year limited warranty:
- Year 1: Full parts replacement and repair coverage at no additional charge
- Year 2: Continued parts and repair support (customer covers return shipping)
A two-year warranty signals that Biaojiang stands behind their build quality — and for independent professionals whose equipment is their livelihood, that reliability matters more than any specification.
Worldwide Shipping: Order From Anywhere
HAVOMEC, Biaojiang's official retail platform, offers:
- Free worldwide shipping on all orders
- Multiple international payment methods
- 14-day no-questions-asked return policy (return shipping deducted)
Whether you're in New York, London, Dubai, or Tokyo, ordering from havomec.com gets your SE delivered by air within an estimated 5–20 business days.
