How To Take Care Of Your Designer Watch

A designer diamond watch makes a great gift for both men and women. Not only is it a staple piece for anyone to add to their wardrobe, but it can also be a good investment as well. Because these watches can cost tens of thousands of dollars, the last thing you want to do is not take good care of it. To ensure that it lasts long enough for you to pass it on to your kids and grandkids, there are a few different things that you can do.  

Store It Safely

Keeping your diamond watch on your bedside table when you sleep may sound like a good idea until it gets scratched, falls off the table, or gets accidentally exposed to moisture. One of the best things you can do is store your watch in a moisture-safe container that's designed specifically for watches. A lot of watch boxes not only have storage spaces to put them in, but they also come with a humidity control button that will help regulate any humidity that comes in contact with the watch, especially if you're near the ocean. 

Clean It Often

Your watch and skin are exposed to tons of dust everyday that you may not be aware of. When dust enters into the face of your watch it can get inside the gears and cause some serious damage and scratches. To prevent dust from settling on your watch for too long, take a clean, dry cloth and gently polish your watch every day or once a week. 

Take It to the Jeweler

When you have a watch without diamonds, you may benefit from taking it into a jeweler every year, but when you have a watch with diamonds, you may want to take it in twice a year, if not more. Why? Because diamonds can come loose, get scratched, or fall out. When you take your watch in, your jeweler will inspect the inside of the watch, clean it out, and tighten any gears. Then, on the outside of the watch, they will inspect the diamonds, the band, and the faceplate of the watch to make sure that everything is still intact and that any diamonds aren't loose. 

When you invest in designer pieces like a designer watch, you are only doing yourself and your watch a disservice when you don't take care of it. To learn some more, reach out to a business like The Timepiece Collection in your area.
