A blog about how to take care of your luxury piece. All the needs, special services to get the most out of your timepiece.
Introduction
There are few things in life more luxurious than owning a fine timepiece. From the moment you slip it on your wrist, you can tell that every aspect of this watch was designed with precision and care. It's easy to forget that these masterpieces need just as much TLC as any other high-end product, but when they don't get what they need, it's bound to break down. Here are some tips for giving your AIS watch the proper care so that you can get years of use out of it:
Keeping Your Timepiece Clean
Keeping your watch clean is critical for getting the longest life out of it. This can be done in two ways: wiping it with a soft cloth, or cleaning it with water and mild soap. To wipe down the case and bracelet, use a soft cloth (like an eyeglass cleaning cloth) to gently wipe away dust and dirt from the exterior of your watch.
To clean the face of your timepiece, fill a small bowl with warm water and add one teaspoon of mild soap (like Ivory). Then dip another soft cloth into this solution before gently wiping down the face of your watch so that any dirt or dust is removed without damaging its surface. Never submerge a luxury timepiece in water; doing so will damage some components inside due to pressure changes as well as corrosion caused by dissimilar materials coming into contact with each other under wet conditions.
Cleaning around screws on crowns should also be done carefully using another soft toothbrush dipped in warm soapy water to remove any dirt buildup there as well as help prevent rust from forming over time
Service your watch
To keep your watch in top working condition, you should have it serviced every 3-5 years. Many people choose to service their watches themselves, but if you're not comfortable with this, take it to a professional.
- The watch should be cleaned and inspected for any damage
- The movement will be oiled and checked for wear
- Check the gaskets around the case back and crown for signs of deterioration
Store your watch correctly
If you’re not planning on wearing your watch, store it in an airtight container. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or near any heat sources, such as a furnace.
Avoid extreme temperature changes at all costs. This includes keeping your watch out of the shower, pool and ocean due to their high levels of bacteria that can damage your watch’s interior components. Also be cautious about storing your timepiece with other precious jewelry items like necklaces or bracelets because they could scratch each other up if anything rubs against each other too hard (which is why many owners will wrap their watches in cotton cloth before placing them into storage). Finally, don't wear sports watches during workouts because sweat may cause corrosion on the metals used for its construction.
Water Resistance
In the watch world, water resistance is measured in meters. The higher the number, the better your watch will be at withstanding water pressure.
It's important to note that just because your watch has a 200-meter rating doesn't mean you can go diving with it—if you're swimming in deep waters or wearing it while skydiving, it'll probably stop working before then. The ratings are based on how much pressure each timepiece can withstand; so if your watch says it's resistant up to 50 meters (that is, about 165 feet), that means it should be fine if you accidentally drop into shallow water wearing it, but not much else.
Magnetism
Magnetism is a natural phenomenon that has the ability to affect everything from watches to compasses. It's caused by the movement of electrons and protons in metals, which creates an electric current. This current can be disrupted by another powerful magnet or magnetic field, which can cause your watch to stop working or lose its accuracy. How do you know if your watch is affected? It might:
- Pick up dust and dirt easily
- Stop accurately keeping time
It may be expensive but the right care will help keep it running like new.
A watch is a luxury item, but it's an investment. A good watch will last you for years if taken care of properly. Here are some tips on how to keep your AIS watch running like new:
- Get a professional cleaning once every year or so. This includes dusting off the case and crystals (if there are any), checking for any cracks or scratches in the glass, oiling all moving parts (especially the crown), and replacing worn out straps with new ones from [store].
- If you go swimming with your AIS watch often, make sure to rinse it off after each use so that no moisture remains inside. This helps prevent rust from forming on sensitive internal components over time which can cause major damage if left unchecked!
Conclusion
We all know that buying a luxury timepiece is not an investment you make lightly. So, if you’re looking to get the most out of your new watch and ensure it lasts for years to come, then it’s worth investing in some care and maintenance.
