Even if you have not worn your timepiece for a while, you should wind your mechanical watch (self-winding or manual-winding) at least once a month. For a manual-winding watch, turn the crown until it resists, without forcing it. For a self-winding watch, we recommend at least 25 turns of the crown. This helps keep the movement components well lubricated.

Ensure that your watch is fitted properly on your wrist. This improves the efficiency of the winding system and avoids premature wear of the links of your metal bracelet.
Avoid wearing several watches or items of jewelry on the same wrist, as doing so risks scratching the watch and metal bracelet links.

Clean your water- resistant watch ( main condition ) and its metal bracelet regularly with warm water, rinse with fresh water, and dry with a soft cloth. This simple gesture limits the abrasive or corrosive effects of the chlorine, seawater, sand and perfume.

Before swimming, check that the crown and push-pieces are fully screwed down. Aside from crowns on our "Diver" models, crown and push-pieces should not be activated while submerged in water. After swimming in salt water, rinse the watch with fresh water.

The movement and the water resistance should be checked periodically. Water resistance seals exposed to the environment (temperature differences, acidity, amongst others) should be replaced every two to three years depending on wear and tear. This routine water- resistance service is the only way to protect the heart of your watch from dust and humidity.

Avoid all contacts with corrosive materials (acid, perfumes, carbonated beverages, etc.) as they are likely to damage the water-resistant seals.

Leather straps should not be submerged in water as water will wear them out faster. This does not apply to rubber or metal straps

Throughout everyday life, we are often exposed to magnetic fields that may cause timepieces to run slower, excessively fast, or even stop. If necessary, a simple demagnetization process can be performed by a professional watchmaker, before resetting the time.

Kindly find below a list of common devices emitting magnetic fields:

• mobile phones
• Tablet PC's
• audio and video systems
• Microwaves
• Hair dryers
• TV's
• refrigerator doors
• Magnetic closures of handbags, purses...

The influence of magnetic fields can have three main effects on the watch depending on its intensity:

• the watch is temporarily fast when the magnetic field is of low intensity
• A magnetic field of medium intensity magnetizes mechanism components and effects the interaction between them. The effect will remain until the watch is demagnetized.
• The watch has stopped due to a magnetic field too intense.

Whatever intensity of magnetism the timepiece is exposed to, the regulation and amplitude of the movement will return to normal after demagnetizing it. This intervention has no consequence on the timepiece .
