Frequently asked questions

Find expert guidance on daily care, service intervals, and handling your luxury timepieces from prestigious brands such as Omega, Tissot, Certina, Seiko, and Festina.

How often should my luxury watch be serviced?

Mechanical and automatic timepieces from makers like Omega, Certina, and Tissot typically require a complete service every 4 to 5 years. Quartz models should have their battery replaced and seals inspected every 2 to 3 years.

How do I maintain the water resistance of my timepiece?

Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down before exposure to water. Water resistance should be tested annually, especially before summer or swimming, as gaskets can naturally dry out over time.

Can I wear my mechanical watch while playing sports?

While modern sports models like Certina DS or Seiko Prospex are built with shock protection, we advise against wearing delicate automatic timepieces during high-impact activities like golf, tennis, or contact sports.

How do magnetic fields affect my watch?

Magnets in smartphones, laptops, bags, and audio speakers can disrupt mechanical movements, causing them to gain or lose time. Keep your watch at least a few inches away from strong magnetic sources when not in use.

What is the best way to clean my watch case and bracelet?

Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth for daily cleaning. For metal bracelets and water-resistant cases, a soft toothbrush with mild soapy water can gently remove dirt. Never submerge leather straps in water.

How should I care for genuine leather straps?

Keep leather straps away from direct water, humidity, perfumes, and excessive sunlight to prevent premature wear and discoloration. Allow the leather to breathe by alternating straps when possible.

How should I store my watch when not wearing it?

Store your timepiece in a dry, temperature-controlled environment inside a watch box or roll. For automatic watches worn infrequently, consider a quality watch winder to keep the movement properly lubricated.

What should I do if moisture appears inside the crystal?

Condensation or water droplets beneath the sapphire crystal indicate that the water resistance has failed. Bring your timepiece to a certified specialist immediately to prevent corrosion of the movement.
