How do I wind a manual watch?

Turn the crown clockwise gently between your thumb and index finger until you feel slight resistance. Stop immediately to avoid damaging the mainspring inside the movement. Wind the watch at approximately the same time each day to maintain consistent tension and accurate timekeeping.

Are these watches water resistant?

Vintage rectangular wristwatches were manufactured before modern water resistance standards existed. Even models described as serviced lack contemporary rubber gaskets and seals. Keep these timepieces away from rain, hand washing, and humidity to protect the delicate paper dials and metal movements from corrosion.

How do I read a curved watch case?

Curvex models incorporate specially shaped movements that arch along the length of the wrist. This allows a rectangular watch to sit flat and comfortably despite its geometric profile. Inspect the side profile of the watch to appreciate how the curved glass crystal matches the arc of the metal case.

What is the difference between gold filled and plated?

Gold filled items contain a substantial layer of solid gold heat-bonded to a base metal, ensuring decades of wear without wearing through. Gold plating applies a microscopic film of gold via electroplating. Check the case for hallmarks indicating gold fill quality, which ensures greater longevity than standard plated alternatives.
