How do I wind a manual watch?

Turn the crown gently between your thumb and forefinger in a clockwise direction until you feel firm resistance. Stop immediately at this point to avoid overwinding and damaging the internal spring. Perform this action at the same time each day to maintain consistent timekeeping performance.

Are these watches waterproof?

Vintage models generally lack modern rubber gaskets and screw-down crowns, leaving them vulnerable to moisture ingress. Keep them away from swimming, showers, and heavy rain. Accidental splashes require immediate drying with a soft cloth to protect the dial and movement.

How often need they be serviced?

Mechanical movements require periodic cleaning and lubrication of the internal pivots and gears to prevent wear. Consult a professional horologist every few years for maintenance. Regular servicing preserves the longevity of the intricate components hidden inside the silver case.

Can I wear mine every day?

Daily wear is entirely possible provided you account for the delicate nature of vintage materials and manual mechanisms. Pair the watch with appropriate attire and handle it with care. Store the timepiece safely in a dry box when not in use to protect the crystal and strap.
