HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU SERVICE YOUR WATCH?

Check water resistance every 2 years (every year if in frequent contact with water) 

Servicing every 4 to 5 years

 

Jewellery watches are precious and fragile. They are water resistant, but are not designed to be completely submerged in water.

The water resistance feature protects the watch against dust, rain and splashing water. This protection is provided by a series of seals, which we recommend replacing every two years to ensure optimal protection.

Do not wear your watch in a sauna, steam room, bath or shower. Sudden changes in temperature may damage the seals.

In quartz movement watches, the movement is powered by a battery that can last for 2-4 years, depending on the model. If the battery is completely discharged or low (the centre second hand on some watches will begin jumping four seconds faster), we recommend taking it to our expert watchmakers as soon as possible. Never leave a flat battery in your watch. It can leak and permanently damage the movement.

Do not submerge your watch in water to avoid damaging the strap.

Use only a clean and dry soft cloth to clean your strap. Do not use chemicals like soap, alcohol or solvents. Avoid contact with water.
