How do I wind a manual watch?

Gently rotate the crown clockwise between your thumb and forefinger until you feel resistance. Stop immediately to avoid damaging the mainspring. Perform this action daily at a consistent time to maintain accurate timekeeping throughout wear.

Can I swim with a vintage watch?

Vintage timepieces lack modern waterproof gaskets and reliable sealing capabilities. Even models designated as water-resistant originally should be kept away from water. Protect the movement and internal components by removing the watch before bathing, swimming, or washing dishes.

What is an automatic movement?

An automatic movement contains an internal weighted rotor that spins as the wearer moves their arm. This kinetic action winds the mainspring continuously. Such mechanisms eliminate the need for manual daily winding while the watch remains in regular active use.

How should I store my watch?

Store the timepiece in a dry environment away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and magnetic fields. Dedicated watch boxes or padded storage cases provide ideal protection. If the piece remains unwound for extended periods, operating the movement briefly every few weeks keeps internal lubricants distributed.
