#TuesdayTips - For Maintaining Your Timepiece
When you choose a timepiece to invest in, you’ll want to ensure its peak level of performance for years to come. The simplest way to do this? Caring for it properly of course.
See below for some important tips to help in maintaining your timepiece:
Keep it clean - Remove smudges and fingerprints from daily wear with a soft cloth. It is important to keep the rest of the polishing to the professionals - like us here at Grand Central Watch. It’s easy for at-home solutions and cleaners to contain chemicals that in fact eat away at your watch.
Maintain the band - Remember to avoid direct contact with your watch band when applying perfume or cologne as it can damage the metal or leather band. If your timepiece is waterproof or water resistant it is still important to keep it as dry as possible after it’s come in contact with water. Also keep in mind how extreme weather conditions and humidity can affect a leather strap!
Get your watch serviced - Like your car gets an oil change, your timepiece needs to have a full cleaning and maintenance service to extend its life. A professional will be able to dismantle, check under a microscope, oil and polish your watch properly.
Store it properly - Even if you plan to wear your watch tomorrow, taking it off at night and placing it in a watch box, organizer, or soft cloth will help keep it in pristine condition. For watch aficionados, a watch case is the best option - this way you can store all timepieces in separate compartments that keep dust and contaminants out.
