How to Extend the Service Life of Your Luxury Watches

The watch, as a high-precision timing equipment and art jewelry, proper use and maintenance is essential to extend the service life, watch precision and keep appearance pieces nice to get a high quality life!

Check the following items to get known more about how to maintain your luxury watches!

1. Maintenance of appearance pieces:

(1) Case and strap: There are a variety of materials for the watch case and strap, such as tungsten titanium alloy, high-tech ceramic, stainless steel, soft fiber, and ordinary steel. You may should avoid being rubbed or stricken against something at the same or higher hardness. Watch case and strap regular cleaning is also very necessary, note to keep away from sea water, salt water bath, perfume, shampoo, nail polish, nail with water and some chemicals in cosmetics, or they'll erode your gold plated or steel face of watch.

(2) Crystal: Crystal can be divided into the synthesis of crystal rubber, mineral glass, and sapphire glass. The synthesis of crystal rubber is less scratch-prone, but highly resistant to impact force; sapphire crystal features high abrasion resistance, but brittle from heavy impact; mine glass is between the characteristics of these two. Even if sapphire should be also paid attention to objects like diamonds, stone, sandpaper, nail files, surface stone fence, and impurities ‌in concrete walls, etc, in order not to scratch the surface.

2. Watch water resistant:

30 meters Water resistant: referring to the living water, washing hands, washing face, getting wet in the rain, splashing water, etc.

50 meters Water resistant: fishing, car washing, showers, swimming and so on.

100 meters above the water: apply to diving, submarine tours, etc..

3. Quartz watch:

Maybe you should replace batteries regularly (ordinary can last for 1-2 years), along with seals, and make water testing. some types of watches prompt you when power is off, do change it during following three weeks after prompted.

4. Mechanical watches:

Have a look at your movement every 2-3 years, cleaning and fueling will be fine. If not worn for a long-term, it should be regularly tighten to get movement moved.

5. Do not do these to your watches:

(1) Take a sauna bath

Whatever the water resistance of your watch is, do not take into a sauna, the movement may harm it even you don't notice it by appearance. Because the pieces of the watch case are made up of different expansion rates of materials, if the ambient temperature is higher than or equal to 50 degrees, the difference will be brought out within the watch, then the air will run out, when the temperature difference recovers, the outside air will be back to the watch. Usually, the temperature in sauna room is far higher than standard, the air in the watch will get out and its humidity will be higher than standard air condition. maybe you don't view water vapor, however, when it meets low temperature Suddenly, of which is higher than usual condition, the vapor will coagulate on the surface of glass to form water or fog, steam heat will accelerate the aging of water resistant apron, therefore, it won't protect your watch any longer.

(2) Confirm for the sapphire crystal via water drops condensation.

It's unscientific, because some mineral glass will also coagulate droplets, and water droplets may also spread on some sapphire crystal, but have the same high abrasion resistance. table mirror material for which manufacturers will be made clear, and to try not to use the drops. Manufacturers will make it clear what's the crystal material, don't test via water droplets.

(3) Quartz watch will not be water resistant and inaccurate any longer after batteries replacement.

That's not true. Make sure get re-suppressed re-waterproofing, and tested whether time error is within the normal value by professional technician, which will help you more.

(4) Test watches' abrasion resistance by rubbing on ground or scratching the surface.

Do not recommend this. Indeed high-tech ceramic has high abrasion resistance degree, but brittle from heavy impact and dropment.

6. Other notes:

Don't adjust the calendar at night (from 8 PM to 2 AM)!
