For
many, a watch is more than simply a way to tell the time. It can be a symbol of
accomplishment and achievement. It can be a treasured gift that fills the mind
with happy memories. It can be a bold fashion statement or a simple piece of
everyday jewelry. If your watch means everything to you, it’s important that
you keep it free from damage.
ABQ
Gold & Silver Jewelry Exchange knows how much your luxury watch means
to you. We want to make sure your timepiece continues to capture every moment
of your life. As you wear and store your watch, be sure to keep the following
tips in mind to avoid damaging the piece.
5
Tips to Prevent Frequent Watch Repairs
- Be careful how and
where you store your watch. Like most pieces of jewelry, special care
must be taken when storing your watch. Leaving it on a counter or
nightstand could increase its chances of falling, collecting dust or
getting scratched and dented. Always store your watch in a covered case
with soft lining.
- Be cautious of
magnetic fields. Magnetic fields from devices in your home like radios,
cell phones, and computers can harm the escapement of a watch if the two
are placed too close together. Check the Gauss rating of your timepiece to
determine its anti-magnetic features.
- Don’t press the
chronograph buttons while underwater. Many assume that a depth-rating means you can
utilize the whole timepiece while submerged. Pressing the chronograph
buttons can break the seal and ruin the watch.
- Don’t wind the
watch on your wrist. This could cause you to put unnecessary pressure on the
watch stem. Instead, keep the watch on a flat surface while you wind it.
- Don’t change the battery or repair the watch yourself. You can easily damage many components of the timepiece if you attempt to take it apart. Let a trained watchmaker or jewelry repair service complete these tasks for you.
