A watch is an example of fine craftsmanship and when it is a Swiss watch, it is all about precision. Therefore, any user should take proper care of his or her watch. Any expensive and high-end timepiece consists of numerous balances, wheels, springs and that is why one should make sure that everything remains in place to keep the device moving.

• Primarily – After buying that dream timepiece, one must go through the manual to get the basic understanding of watch care instructed by the maker. This part is very essential but unfortunately, most of the watch enthusiasts skip this step.

• Any user should avoid giving a physical shock to their watch intentionally. As the watch is formed from various small and fragile components, there is a huge scope that strong physical shock might cause malfunctioning of the device.

• One should keep their exquisite timepieces away from any harsh chemicals. It is always advisable that the trained personnel should carry out the cleaning of the watch or any of its parts in the authorised service centre.

• Every watch comes with a marked water-defiance capacity. The user should not push their devices to the limit. In addition, it should be kept in mind that the marked water-resistance is the maximum capacity of the device to withstand water pressures. Not every watch is meant for serious water sports or diving, so it is the user’s responsibility to verify all those things before exposing the device to water.

Last but not the least, after everyday use one should wipe off their timepieces with dry cotton clothing, preferably with a microfiber cloth. With daily care and proper usage, a Swiss watch can deliver highly precise time for generations to come.
