Watch Cleaning
Why is it important to clean your watch?
Without even mentioning hygiene, this is the easiest way to preserve the appearance of your watch and ensure its long-term performance. Dust, sweat, and residue can accumulate and eventually cause damage, especially if they manage to find their way inside the watch, obstructing the mechanism or corroding the materials. In addition, leather, metal, or rubber straps can deteriorate if not maintained. Regular cleaning also helps maintain the shine and durability of the materials. But the most obvious issue remains hygiene, because if you wear your watch daily, it accumulates an immeasurable number of dead skin cells and bacteria.
How to do it?
Clean your watch
To clean a watch, start by gently wiping the case with a soft cloth to remove dust. If it's waterproof, you can rinse it in warm water with mild soap, then dry it thoroughly. Use a soft-bristled brush to clean hard-to-reach areas, such as between the bracelet links or around the crown. For leather straps, avoid water and use a specific product. Clean regularly to preserve the shine and durability of your watch.
The essential accessory
Cleaning cloth
A microfiber cleaning cloth is essential for maintaining a watch because it is soft and non-abrasive, preventing scratches on delicate surfaces such as the glass, case, or strap. It effectively removes dust, fingerprints, and dirt without chemicals, while preserving the watch's shine. Thanks to its fine texture, it easily reaches hard-to-reach areas and ensures gentle cleaning, thus preserving the aesthetics and durability of your watch.
The other essential
Polishing brush
A polishing brush is the second essential accessory for maintaining your watch, particularly for gently cleaning surfaces. Its soft bristles help remove dust and accumulated residue without damaging the case, bracelet, or glass. This allows the brush to easily reach difficult areas, such as between the bracelet links, and restores the shine to your watch. Regular use helps maintain the new look and shine of your watch while preserving the materials.
What makes the difference
Special watch liquid
A special watch cleaning fluid is essential for thorough maintenance. Formulated to dissolve dirt, grease, and residue without damaging the materials, it gently cleans the case, bracelet, and even small parts. Used with a microfiber cloth or soft-bristled brush, it restores the watch's shine and luster. It is ideal for maintaining surfaces in good condition, while ensuring its longevity and proper function.
The weak link in a watch
Leather care
A special leather watch strap care product is essential to prolong its lifespan and preserve its appearance. Leather is sensitive to moisture, perspiration, and UV rays, which can dry it out or distort it. Proper care nourishes and moisturizes the leather while protecting it from external aggressions. This helps maintain its suppleness and shine, and prevents cracking, ensuring optimal comfort and a flawless appearance over time.
