Caring for Your Luxury Timepiece
Essential tips and best practices to keep your watch in pristine condition for generations.
Protecting Your Investment
A luxury watch is an investment that can last for generations with proper care. Here are the essential practices every watch owner should know.
Daily Care
Wipe your watch with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove oils and perspiration. Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, chemicals, or magnetic fields.
Water Resistance
Even if your watch is water-resistant, have the seals checked annually. Water resistance can degrade over time, and it's better to be safe than sorry.
Regular Servicing
Mechanical watches should be serviced every 3-5 years. During servicing, the movement is disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, and adjusted to ensure optimal performance.
Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a watch winder for automatic movements to keep them running smoothly.
Professional Cleaning
Have your watch professionally cleaned annually. This includes cleaning the case, bracelet, and checking all seals and gaskets.
