Watch Care
A luxury watch is a masterpiece of precision. With proper storage and regular care, your timepiece remains functional for generations — and retains its value.
At a glance
Service
Mechanical watches require a professional service by a specialist workshop every six to ten years.
Replacement
For reasons of hygiene and value retention, we recommend replacing the strap at this interval.
Cleaning agents
Never use chemical cleaning agents — they damage gaskets and harm the watch.
Proper storage
Wristwatches should be kept in a dust-free environment with low humidity — ideally in a suitable watch box. Protect your timepiece from direct sunlight or strong light to prevent discolouration of the dial and hands.
Cleaning & care
Water-resistant watches
For water-resistant models from 3 bar (30 m), you can gently remove dirt yourself — provided you observe a few basic rules.
How to proceed:
Leather straps
Leather straps are particularly sensitive. Observe these guidelines to preserve material and wearing comfort for the long term.
Avoid:
Important for cleaning
For water-resistant watches, please **never use chemical cleaning agents** — the substances they contain attack the gaskets and can permanently impair water resistance.
Service indicators
Mechanical watches are marvels of fine engineering that are subject to constant friction. The following symptoms indicate that your watch needs a professional overhaul.
Your watch is running noticeably fast or slow. A minor daily deviation is normal — larger deviations are a warning sign.
Winding or setting the time feels stiff or unfamiliar — an indication of dried-out oils or wear in the mechanism.
The watch runs noticeably shorter than specified after a full wind — the mainspring or movement requires attention.
Does your watch need a service or a new strap?
From professional servicing in our master workshop to a strap replacement — we look after your timepiece with the same care as in the selection process.
