Why regular cleaning makes sense
A watch worn every day collects skin oils, dust and sweat – especially between the bracelet links, at the lugs and where the case meets the bezel. If this is not removed, over time it acts like a fine abrasive on polished surfaces and wears down the gaskets.
How to proceed
Wipe the case and strap with a dry, lint-free cloth, ideally after each wear. For water-resistant watches with a screw-down crown, you can also clean a metal bracelet with lukewarm water and a soft brush, then dry it thoroughly. Leather straps tolerate neither water nor cleaning agents, so a dry cloth is all they need.
Where home remedies reach their limits
A cloth is no substitute for a service. If there is moisture under the crystal, the watch is noticeably inaccurate or the crown is difficult to operate, it belongs in expert hands. We will be pleased to advise you personally on our repair and maintenance services.
