How to clean your watch case

  • Do not move the crown or push any buttons when your watch is in contact with water, as this may let water enter the case.
  • If your watch is not water resistant, dip a cotton swab in a bowl of warm water with a drop or two of soap in. Squeeze the tip of the cotton swab to remove most of the water and gently rub the case.
  • If your watch is water resistant, soak a soft cloth in a bowl of warm water with two drops of mild washing-up liquid added. Wring most of the water out of the cloth and gently rub the case with it.

How to clean a pocket watch chain

Pocket watches are designed to be carried around in your pocket and rarely feature significant water resistance.

  • Remove the chain from the watch.
  • With a soft cloth, gently wipe the chain down to remove any dirt, dust, or fingerprints.
  • If it needs a deeper clean, rub the chain gently with a lint-free cloth soaked in warm water with a drop or two of mild soap in it.
  • Use a soft brush such as a toothbrush to clean between the links and other hard-to-reach places if necessary.
  • Always dry your chain with a soft towel after cleaning, as this will remove pollutants and prevent water spots or stains from forming.
  • Let it air-dry overnight.

How to care for your watch

  • Store your watch in a dark, dry place to avoid corrosion and discolouration of the dial.
  • Always replace the battery on a quartz watch as soon as it runs out. With time, an empty battery may start leaking, damaging the watch’s movement.
  • Run mechanical watches at least two days a year to prevent gears and cogs from sticking.
  • You should always get your watch serviced by a professional every 3 years.

GENERAL CARE

Rule of thumb: Make sure your watch is the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.

  • Take your watch off and store it safely before engaging in any activity that could damage it.
  • Take it off before engaging in any activity likely to make you sweat.
  • Take it off before you shower, bathe, or go for a swim.
  • Take it off before cooking or cleaning.
  • Take it off before you go to bed.
  • Don’t expose your watch to chemicals such as cologne, sunscreen, perfume, chlorine, hair gel, etc., as these can discolour, stain, or dull surfaces.
  • Try to store your watch separately in a soft enclosure to prevent scratching and rubbing.
  • If your watch has closures or clasps, close these to prevent tangling.
  • Keep your watch stored in a dry, dark place, and avoid heat fluctuation.
