When wearing your watch has to do with different influences. Think of moisture, temperature fluctuations, impacts and various vibrations. The watch deserves regular attention and maintenance.

Quartz watches

This includes all watches with a battery. In principle, a quartz watch requires little maintenance on the timepiece itself. Usually these types are water resistant for daily use. Do not unnecessarily expose the analog watches to extreme shocks. Also make sure that you do not expose a Quartz watch unnecessarily to long periods of sunlight and a lot of variation in humid and dry conditions. The sunlight can affect the colors of the watch, moisture in combination with temperature changes can also affect the different materials and cause additional wear of the gaskets.

In principle, a (digital) sports watch requires little maintenance. Usually these types for sports use are sufficiently water resistant and shockproof. Always read the watch details for sufficient water resistance.

When maintenance?

If your watch is left behind or has stopped regularly, the battery needs to be replaced. The good jeweler can always replace it for you. It is also possible that the battery still has sufficient voltage. Then the standstill is not due to the battery, but to a malfunction in the timepiece. Your watch is due for a service, also called an overhaul. Usually in older watches a malfunction in the electronic circuit or the gear is the cause. After the watchmaker has performed the maintenance, your watch will run like clockwork again!

Low battery

Have good time to replace your battery. An empty battery can cause a lot of damage / oxidation to the sensitive electronics due to leakage. Is your watch waterproof? After replacing the battery, have your watch tested for water resistance. If necessary, have the gaskets replaced. Especially when used in humid conditions!

Shockproof and temperature

Even if your watch is 'shockproof', always protect it against hard knocks and shocks. Also, do not expose it to extreme temperature changes. For example, do not place your watch directly from your warm wrist on a cold kitchen counter.

Watch glass

The glass of the watch also requires attention. In case of damage to the glass edge, deep scratches or breaks, dust and moisture can penetrate. Even through a small crack in the glass, dust and moisture can penetrate and damage the inside of your watch. Advice: If the glass of your watch is broken or cracked, stop wearing it and have it replaced. Very small glass splinters can cause enormous damage in the timepiece. The hands and dial can also be badly damaged.

Watch strap From time to time, pay close

attention to whether the strap shows signs of wear and tear and whether the pins with which the strap is attached are bent, worn or damaged by dirt / erosion. Due to a broken strap, you can just lose your valuable watch at the wrong time.

Mechanical watch
Winding
Always wind a mechanical watch clockwise. Remove the watch from your wrist to minimize damage to the mechanism.

Service - Watch overhaul
The best indicator for servicing the mechanical timepiece is that it will run behind. This is an indication that the watch has too little oil (or is showing signs of wear). Go to a good watchmaker and have your watch serviced. Wearing it on will cause unnecessary extra wear. Depending on the type of watch and timepiece, we recommend maintenance once every two to five years. With a more complex timepiece, with additional functions such as chronograph, moon phase, day-date display or an automatic timepiece, a maintenance service is recommended every two years. Given its function, a diving watch will also require more attention than a simple watch.

The watch will be cleaned and all parts checked during maintenance (overhaul). The watchmaker will provide the bearings with new oil and adjust the movement. Worn or damaged parts will be replaced. The crown, pin and any push buttons will also be adjusted or replaced. The latter not only to keep out moisture, but also to prevent dirt from entering the watch case!

Waterproof watches

Unless it is clearly stated at the time of purchase that your watch is waterproof, it is advisable not to wear your wristwatch while showering or swimming. If water or condensation does get into your watch, go directly to your jeweler, even if the timepiece still works. Moisture causes rust and rust can irreparably damage your timepiece within a short time. Especially with (salt) seawater! With regular use with water, 10 ATM or 100 meters is recommended.For waterproof watches, we recommend that you have them checked at least once a year for water resistance. You can regularly check yourself whether the glass is damaged and whether the crown is still turning straight. If the crown looks dented, has a blow while turning or loses its color, it already indicates that it has lost its sealing function. Replacement is really necessary to guarantee the watertightness!

Tip: Please keep in mind temperature differences that are too great:
Once the watch has become nice and warm due to the sun, do not splash with the watch in the cold water. You still get the shivers yourself ...!
