The watch care guide

Preserve the precision and brilliance of your time

Watches are much more than just accessories; they are faithful companions that accompany us day after day, year after year. To guarantee their longevity and accuracy, regular maintenance is essential. Here are some tips for taking care of your watch, focusing on the different types of movements: automatic, mechanical , and quartz.

1. Automatic watches:

are Automatic watches equipped with a mechanical movement powered by the movement of your wrist. To maintain their accuracy and optimal performance, it is recommended to wear them regularly. If you don't wear your automatic watch every day, use an automatic watch winder to keep the movement running. If you don't have one, visit us in store to discover them!

Avoid operating the adjustment buttons while the watch is running, and be sure to have it serviced by a certified professional every 7 to 10 years for cleaning and lubrication. But of course, feel free to visit one of our stores if you suspect your watch has a problem, such as a loss of accuracy.

2. Mechanical watches:

Mechanical watches have a complex movement made up of gears and springs that require special care. To avoid damage , do not over-wind the watch and avoid strong impacts. Store your watch in a safe place when you are not wearing it to prevent scratches and damage.

Regular professional maintenance is recommended to maintain the accuracy of the movement and prevent wear of internal components.

3. Quartz watches:

Quartz watches are powered by a battery, making them easier to maintain . Be sure to replace the battery as soon as it shows signs of weakness to prevent damage to the movement. Regularly clean the case and strap with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent the buildup of dirt and residue.

If the watch requires adjustment or repair, entrust it to a licensed professional watchmaker to avoid damaging the delicate movement. When not wearing the watch, we recommend pulling the stem out fully to activate the stop lever. This willconserve battery power. If you do this, be sure to store the watch in a dry, moisture-free place.
