Owning a luxury watch comes with the responsibility of care. Whether it’s a Rolex Submariner, a Patek Philippe Nautilus, or a Richard Mille, preserving its beauty and precision requires proper maintenance and attention. Here’s how to keep your collection in pristine condition.
Regular Servicing
Mechanical watches are intricate machines with hundreds of moving parts. Experts recommend servicing your timepiece every 3–5 years, depending on the brand and usage. Professional servicing ensures lubrication, accuracy, and the detection of potential wear before it becomes a costly repair.
Cleaning Your Watch
Daily wear exposes your watch to dust, sweat, and environmental factors. Lightly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft microfiber cloth after use. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with lukewarm water and mild soap on metal bracelets — but avoid immersing leather straps or exposing them to moisture. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before contact with water.
Proper Storage
When not on your wrist, your watch deserves safe storage. Use a watch box or pouch to prevent scratches. Automatic watches benefit from a quality watch winder, which keeps them running smoothly and prevents lubricants from settling. Store your timepieces in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Handling with Care
Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or sudden shocks. Luxury watches are durable, but mindful handling extends their lifespan and preserves their value.
Preserving Value
Keep all original packaging, papers, and certificates, as these significantly enhance the long-term value of your watch. A well-maintained, documented piece not only retains but often increases in value over time.
Conclusion
Your luxury watch is both an engineering marvel and a work of art. With proper care, cleaning, and storage, it will continue to perform with precision and look impeccable for decades becoming a cherished heirloom for future generations.
