How to Care for Your Luxury Watch: Expert Tips and Tricks

Posted by AIS Watches on Jul 11th 2023

Luxury watches are some of the most expensive items that people can buy. These watches are also valuable collectables that you should care for properly if you want to keep them looking new and keep their value intact. There are certain steps that you can take to make sure your luxury watch stays in good condition. Here is what an expert recommends when it comes to caring for your luxury timepiece:


Regular Service is Important

Regular servicing is important for many reasons. It can extend the life of your watch, help you avoid problems before they become serious, and keep it looking new. Regular servicing will also allow us to check that all functions are working properly and give advice on any maintenance issues that may arise.

Keep it Away from Water

To keep your watch in tip-top shape, it's important to avoid water as much as possible. If you're going to the beach or pool with friends, leave your luxury watch at home. The same goes for showers and baths--your precious accessory isn't meant for these activities!

If you do find yourself getting wet with your watch on (and this happens more often than we'd like), immediately remove it from its band and place it in a safe location where no moisture can get inside of its case or strap. While this won't fix any internal damage done by moisture, it will prevent further harm from occurring until such time as we can get our hands on an expert jeweler who can help us repair what needs fixing.

Store it Properly in its Box

You'll want to store your watch in its box when not wearing it. This will help keep it safe and prevent damage from dust, dirt, moisture and other elements. If you don't have a place to keep your watch on display at home but still want to keep it out of harm's way while displaying its beauty (and how many people won't), consider buying a display case for watches.

If you're looking for something more permanent--and if you have a little extra cash lying around--consider investing in an actual jewelry safe for storing your luxury timepiece(s). They come in all shapes and sizes depending on how many pieces of jewelry need protecting; some even feature built-in lights so that you can see what piece is where without having to open up each individual compartment every time!

Regular Cleaning

Cleaning your watch is an important step in caring for it. Not only will regular cleaning keep your timepiece looking its best, but it will also help to preserve its value.

Regularly clean the face of your watch with a soft cloth or brush (avoid using paper products). Use water and mild soap if needed, but avoid harsh chemicals like ammonia or bleach that may damage the finish on some watches' faces. You should also regularly wipe down the case with a soft cloth; this will prevent dust from collecting inside and causing scratches on delicate surfaces like crystals and crowns over time.

Avoid Contact with Chemicals and Perfume

Avoid exposing your watch to chemicals, such as perfume, as this can damage the watch's components and affect its accuracy. Similarly, avoid wearing your watch while swimming or showering as water and moisture can also affect its performance. If you plan on working out, it's best to leave your watch at home as the metal band can become stretched out over time, leading to potential damage or breakages if the band is not properly sized when initially purchased. Taking care of your watch can help preserve its quality and ensure it lasts for years to come.

Also, avoid using harsh chemicals on the face of your watch--especially those that contain ammonia or bleach! These can damage the crystal and other materials within the casing that make up its structure. Likewise, avoid abrasive materials like sandpaper when cleaning off grime from around its edges: use a soft cloth instead!

Avoid Bringing Your Watch to The Beach or Wearing It to the Gym

It's best to avoid bringing your watch to the beach or wearing it to the gym. Sweat, sand, and salt water can damage the watch. Also avoid wearing it in the shower or pool, as these activities can also damage your timepiece. And if you're planning on doing strenuous exercise while wearing a luxury watch: don't! If you do find yourself sweating profusely from an intense workout session (or any other reason), wipe down your watch immediately with a soft cloth before letting it dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators and lamps for about 30 minutes so that no moisture remains trapped inside its case.

Caring for a luxury watch may seem like a difficult task; however, this does not have to be the case. If you have a luxury watch that needs servicing, take it to an expert for regular maintenance. If you want to keep it looking good, store it properly so that its value remains intact.

Regular servicing is important because it helps your watch perform at its best level and prevents issues from developing later on down the line. You should also try not to wear your luxury timepieces in places where they could get damaged or exposed to chemicals such as perfume or chlorine--these can cause damage over time which will reduce their value as well as make them less attractive than they once were!

Caring for your luxury watch does not have to be difficult. With the right advice and maintenance, you can ensure that your timepiece will stay in good condition for years to come.
