Store It Right
Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
Use soft pouches or lined boxes.
Try to keep silver pieces separately stored with other silver pieces to prevent it from tarnishing quickly.
Clean Gently
Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing.
If safe, wash with mild soap and lukewarm water.
Avoid harsh chemicals. Use a soft brush for details.
Keep It Dry
Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, or sweating.
Apply perfume, lotion, and hairspray before putting on jewelry.
Wear with Care
Put jewelry on last to avoid snags.
Don’t wear delicate pieces during heavy activity.
Let the Pros Handle Repairs
Loose stones or broken clasps? Take it to a trusted jeweler—vintage deserves expert care.
Keep It Dry
Most vintage watches are not water-resistant (even if they once were).
Remove before showering, swimming, or washing hands.
Moisture is a watch’s worst enemy—especially for older mechanical models.
Wind It Gently
Manual watches should be wound once a day, slowly and carefully.
Stop winding once you feel resistance—don’t force it.
Automatics will self-wind with wear, but a gentle wind after resting is fine.
Store Properly
Keep in a watch box or pouch to prevent scratches.
Lay flat or on a watch stand—never store facedown.
Keep away from magnets (they can affect timekeeping).
Clean with Care
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the case and crystal.
For straps, use appropriate cleaners (leather, metal, etc.).
Avoid getting anything inside the crown or case back.
Service Regularly
We encourage vintage mechanical watches to be serviced every 3–5 years if possible.
Having a watchmaker who specializes in vintage pieces is advantageous.
Try to keep a record of maintenance—it adds value and peace of mind.
