Owning a luxury watch is not just about showcasing elegance; it’s about preserving a legacy. Proper maintenance ensures that your timepiece remains a reliable companion and retains its value over time. At Luxury Watch Service, we offer expert guidance to help you care for your cherished watches.
Recommended Maintenance Schedule
Regular servicing is crucial for the longevity of your luxury watch. Most manufacturers recommend servicing every 3 to 5 years, depending on usage and environmental factors. For instance, Rolex recommends professional watch service every 7 years.
Daily Care Tips
Maintaining your watch daily can prevent long-term issues:
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and oils.
- Avoid Magnets: Keep your watch away from magnetic fields, which can affect its accuracy.
- Water Exposure: Understand your watch’s water resistance and avoid exceeding its limits.

Cleaning Your Watch
Regular cleaning keeps your watch looking pristine:
- Metal Bracelets: Use lukewarm, soapy water and a soft brush to clean metal straps.
- Leather Straps: Avoid water; instead, use a leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain suppleness.
