Like his most beautiful jewelry, watch talks. What are the right gestures, and they, on the contrary, the repayment? Answers with Jean Lassaussois, Watchmaker and Customer Management.
Every day our watches face the vagina of everyday life. Moisture, sweating, tremors … Regular maintenance and cleaning are needed as long as possible, as well as some basic reflexes.
Take your clock
The first gesture is favorable. Bring your clock regularly at least once a week. If this council may seem logical to some, it is necessary for good maintenance of its accessory and often forgotten. Watches and especially automatic clocks are going to be in motion, and their mechanism is charged due to the wrist movement. The inner parts are really covered with a lubricant to guarantee proper COGS activities. When it doesn’t move, fluids can dry and cause malfunctions. So preliminary reason so you don’t let them lie at the bottom of his drawers.
Keep it equivalently
To protect your clock from anything that can deteriorate it, it must keep in good conditions. “You always have to keep it in a dry place, but not a lot,” says Jean Lasasu, watch groups. “If the light doesn’t really have an impact, the temperature can have it. You don’t leave its clock in full sun, such as window behind the window. ” We also forget the bathroom like the bathroom, and we are in favor of a closed and sealant of the moments when we don’t wear it.
Protect
“The clock is like a man’s body, we need to protect him and take care of it,” Jean Lasausois claims. Therefore, we avoid falling or exploding it. Even if the glass, often in Sapphire Crystal, is designed to prevent Dial irreversible damage, it is better to limit any form that can damage the mechanism.
Clocks
If a good number of clocks are waterproof, models can range from 30 meters to more than 3,000 meters, and some precautions must be taken according to models. But beware, this distance is not the distance that the clock can go underwater, but the adequate pressure that can bear. “30 meters away is not going to the water watch for the bath, it will support the stems, hand washing and possible dishes, but nothing else. Waterproof clock allows 50 meters to bath in the bathroom or pool but without diving. It allows it from 100 meters to dive without risk and more.
But beware of hot water that can destroy the sealing. Hot and wet areas at the same time, sauna and the hammo are also not strongly recommended.
Remove it for a particular activity
Like any jewelry, the clock must be removed during certain activities. This is especially the case for DIY or painting, during which the risk of shocks or spots is strengthened. Some sports can also undermine automatic, such as golf or tennis responsibility. For these actions, you need or dress his good-reconciled clock so that it does not move, or protects the model dedicated to sports.
Regularly reviewed
In the event of a waterproof clock, Jean Lasiamo advises it to be reviewed every three years. Notice the bracelet, an integral part of the object in the same way as it is its collection. “For those who have a leather bracelet, the life expectancy is shorter than a steel bracelet, as you have to hesitate to hurt him. And if the window scratches, go to your clock for polishing.
