How do I wind a mechanical watch?

You gently turn the small crown at the side of the case clockwise between your thumb and forefinger until you feel resistance. Stop winding immediately once you feel that tension to avoid damaging the internal spring. Most vintage ladies watches require winding once a day to keep accurate time throughout use. Establishing a consistent daily routine helps preserve the longevity of the movement.

Are these watches suitable for daily wear?

These pieces were originally built for daily use, but their delicate vintage mechanisms require gentle handling. Modern shocks and water exposure can easily harm internal components. Reserve them for lighter daily activities or special occasions to protect the casework and glass. Regular servicing by a watchmaker ensures reliable operation if worn frequently.

How do I identify an Art Deco watch?

Art Deco watches feature geometric case shapes, stepped bezels, and stylised Arabic or Roman numerals. They often utilise white gold or platinum paired with diamond accents. Look for symmetrical patterns and linear engravings on the metal surrounding the dial. These design cues point directly to the 1920s and 1930s aesthetic.

What is a cocktail watch?

A cocktail watch is a miniature timepiece created for formal evening events. The dial is often concealed beneath a hinged cover or framed by elaborate diamond settings. These watches prioritise decorative jewellery appeal over immediate legibility. They reflect the luxury and social habits of mid-century and earlier gatherings.
