How do I wind a manual watch?

Turn the crown clockwise gently between your thumb and forefinger until you feel resistance. Stop immediately to avoid damaging the mainspring. Perform this action at a consistent time each day if you wear the watch regularly to maintain accurate timekeeping.

Are these watches waterproof?

Vintage timepieces generally lack modern waterproof seals due to their age and original manufacturing limitations. Exposure to moisture can damage the dial and internal movement. Keep these watches away from water, rain, and humidity unless a professional watchmaker has tested and certified the gaskets.

What size were mid-century watches?

Mid-century wristwatches typically feature smaller case diameters compared to modern standards, often measuring between thirty and thirty-five millimetres. Larger utility models or jumbo versions do exist within this span. These compact dimensions reflect the prevailing fashion and mechanical constraints of the 1930s to 1960s eras.

How often should a vintage watch be serviced?

Mechanical watches require periodic cleaning and lubrication of their internal gears every few years to ensure reliable operation. Oils dry out over time, causing friction that affects timekeeping accuracy. Entrust the servicing to a qualified horologist experienced in working with vintage movements.
