How to Care for Luxury Watch or Timepiece?
To care for a luxury watch or timepiece, protect it from shocks and magnets, avoid extreme temperatures or prolonged water exposure, and clean it regularly with a soft cloth. Professional servicing every 3–5 years helps maintain precision, water resistance, and long-term performance.
General Watch Care
- Avoid exposure to strong magnets such as mobile phones or security scanners, which may affect accuracy.
- Protect your watch from impacts or strong shocks.
- Remove your watch during strenuous physical activities such as heavy lifting or sports.
- Avoid prolonged immersion in water.
- Do not adjust the crown while the watch is submerged.
- Store your watch in its original box or in a cool, dry place away from dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
- If an automatic watch is not worn regularly, it may require manual winding using the crown.
- For connected watches, ensure the watch software and the connected mobile device remain updated.
How to Clean Your Watch
- Clean the watch using a soft dry cloth.
- Leather straps should not be cleaned; they naturally evolve with time and wear. Their lifespan depends on exposure to moisture and frequency of use.
- Rubber straps may be cleaned with slightly soapy water.
- Steel straps may be cleaned with a soft brush and soapy water to remove deposits between the links.
How Often Should Your Service Your Watch
- Luxury watches should be professionally serviced every 3–5 years to maintain accuracy and performance.
