Wear your vintage watch with elegance and caution. Avoid wearing it while performing high-intensity activities or in environments that could potentially damage it. Remember, not all vintage watches are created to withstand water or shock.

• For instance, if you plan on doing something active, such as tennis of golf, consider removing the watch from your wrist, as sudden movements of the arm can be damaging.
• Up until the middle of the 50's, the waterproofing of watches was not practiced by manufacturers, meaning that antique watches manufactured before this period are particularly vulnerable to water and moisture.

Make it a habit to wind your watch fully each morning and a bit in the evening (3-5 turn). Leave it on a flat surface, dial side up, overnight to maintain accuracy.

Stay clear of fully tightening the mainspring, as this can lead to a rupture in the vintage spring metal. Instead, wind the mainspring to slightly more than half-tension for optimal timekeeping and safety.

Keep your vintage watch shining with regular, careful cleaning. Use a soft, lint-free cloth for the case and bracelet. Remember—never immerse your watch in water unless it's rated for water resistance.

Regular professional maintenance ensures your timepiece functions flawlessly. Look for signs of necessary service such as inaccuracies in timekeeping, condensation under the crystal, or a worn-out strap.

In order to operate smoothly, it is recommended that you get your vintage watch serviced every 5–6 years.

Safeguard your timepiece during periods of non-use. Store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight or sources of magnetism.

Protect your vintage investment with a suitable insurance. Keep a record of all documentation, including watch passport, servicing history, and purchase receipt — it's vital for future service or potential resale.
