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 over-tensioning the internal spring. Perform this action at approximately the same time each day to maintain consistent tension and accurate timekeeping throughout your wear.

Are vintage watches waterproof?

Vintage timepieces generally lack modern waterproof seals due to age, worn gaskets, and older case design standards. Moisture can easily bypass the crown and crystal. Keep these watches away from swimming, showers, and heavy rain to protect the internal movement from rust and water damage.

How often needs a service?

Mechanical watch movements require periodic cleaning and lubrication to ensure the metal components operate without excessive friction. Watchmakers typically recommend servicing every few years. Regular maintenance prevents the natural oils from drying out and preserves the long-term accuracy of the calibre.

Can I change the strap?

Replacing the strap is a straightforward process that allows you to alter the appearance of your watch using standard spring bars. Leather and fabric bands detach easily with a proper tool. Ensure the replacement strap matches the lug width of your specific watch case for a secure and comfortable fit.
