Take care of your watch
CARE TIPS
1. 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.
2. 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 30 turns of the crown. This helps keep the
movement components well lubricated.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Avoid correcting the date, month or lunar cycle in the afternoon or evening.
Similarly, avoid manipulating the annual or perpetual calendar outside of the time
ranges recommended in the watch manual.
Diver watch
1. 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.
2. Clean your watch 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.
