Caring for Your Luxury Timepiece: Maintenance Essentials
Watch Maintenance

Learn proper care techniques to keep your luxury watch in pristine condition, from daily wear tips to professional servicing schedules.

Daily Care Basics

Proper daily care extends your watch's life and maintains its value. Simple habits like removing your watch before showering and storing it properly make a significant difference.

Cleaning Your Watch

Regular cleaning prevents dirt buildup and maintains your watch's appearance. Use a soft cloth for the case and bracelet, and avoid harsh chemicals that can damage seals and finishes.

Water Resistance Maintenance

Water resistance isn't permanent. Gaskets and seals degrade over time, so have your watch's water resistance tested annually if you wear it in wet conditions.

Professional Servicing

Mechanical watches need servicing every 3-5 years. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Storage Tips

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields. Watch winders are ideal for automatic watches you don't wear daily.
