Caring For Your Watch

How to Care for Your Luxury Watch

Taking care of your luxury watch goes far beyond simply wiping the lens with a cloth. A watch is a precision instrument, and maintaining its longevity requires regular attention and care. Here are some tips to ensure your timepiece stays in top condition.

1. Automatic Watches

Automatic watches rely on a self-winding mechanism that generates power through your wrist movements. If you don’t wear your automatic watch for a few days, it will stop. To avoid this, you can manually wind it by turning the crown at least 20 times to restore power. Alternatively, consider using a watch winder, a device that mechanically rotates your watch when you're not wearing it to ensure it stays powered.

2. Quartz Watches

For quartz-powered watches, the most common maintenance required is battery replacement. A typical quartz watch needs a new battery every 2-3 years. At our Ashbourne-based repair workshop in Derbyshire, we offer professional battery replacement services. Simply call us at 01335 453453, and a member of our team will guide you through the process and schedule a time that suits you.

3. Leather Straps

Leather straps are a stylish and comfortable choice, but they require specific care to preserve their quality. We advise against exposing them regularly to water, chemicals, sunlight, and cosmetics, as these can cause the leather to degrade. If your strap shows signs of wear or you simply wish to change it, we have a wide range of premium straps manufactured by official watch brands. If you can't find the perfect match, our strap finder form can help us source the ideal replacement directly from the manufacturer or find a suitable generic leather or metal bracelet that fits your watch's lug width. We also offer watch strap replacement and refurbishment services at our repair store.

4. Protection During Travel

To protect your watch from scratches and damage while traveling, always store it in the presentation box it came with. This box provides a safe environment for your watch, preventing any accidental knocks or bumps.

5. Regular Servicing

Like any luxury investment, your watch requires regular servicing to ensure it continues to function optimally. We recommend having your watch serviced every few years. You can contact us v
