Watch maintenance
Like any object, your watch is negatively
affected by dust, perfume, perspiration,
pool and sea water. Salt crystals from the
skin could attack the metal of the case and
the band, the crown and leather strap.
We recommend that you clean your watch
with a slightly damp, soft cloth. The metal
and the gold plating will retain their original
colour and lustre longer.
Metal bands on watches with a minimum
water resistance of 5 atm can be washed
with cold water and a mild soap.
Make sure that the crown is always pushed
into place when cleaning your watch,
and that the crystal is in good condition
before making any contact with water.
Never use hot water. Have a professional
watch-repair service replace the battery.
A professional watch maker knows how to
check the gaskets and how to replace them,
if necessary. Always explicitly ask to check
the water resistance, to make sure your watch
remains water resistant and to keep the
warranty after a battery replacement or repair.
Strap maintenance
Our leather straps are manufactured of
quality materials, so we recommend to
handle them with care! You can clean
the leather using a leather care product,
but please test the product on a small
part of the leather to make sure there’s
no adverse reaction and read the label
instructions carefully. Don’t use chemical
products on the material.
Limit the exposure of the leather
straps to heat, direct sunlight or damp
environments. Note that color transfer
can occur when using the product.
