High-quality watches are designed to stand the test of time, and with proper care, they can run smoothly for decades.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Cleaning your watch<\/h2>\n<h3>Daily cleaning<\/h3>\n<p>Use a lint-free cloth to gently wipe your watch and remove accumulated dust.<\/p>\n<h3>Deep cleaning<\/h3>\n<p>Every two months, remove the bracelet and clean the case with warm water and a soft bristle brush. If there is stubborn dirt, use a little mild soap. If your watch has a leather strap, replace the soap with a mixture of warm water and white vinegar. Be sure to dry it completely before reassembling it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/joyeriagordillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Cleaning a watch\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>2. Wear your watch regularly<\/h2>\n<p>Wearing your watch frequently helps to maintain the viscosity of the lubricants in the mechanism, preventing damage to the machinery.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Store your watch correctly<\/h2>\n<p>If you don't plan to wear your watch every day, store it in a case in a dry place away from impact. Remember to wind it at least once a week.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Wind your watch<\/h2>\n<p>If the watch is manually wound, stop before reaching the stop to avoid damaging it.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Know the water resistance<\/h2>\n<p>Avoid contact with water if your watch is not water resistant. Especially if it has a leather strap, as water can weaken and damage it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/joyeriagordillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/resistencia-al-agua-relojes.jpg\" alt=\"Water resistance in watches\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>6. Avoid contact with magnets<\/h2>\n<p>Magnetic fields can affect the mechanism of your watch, leading to costly repairs.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Keep your watch away from chemicals and perfumes<\/h2>\n<p>Chemicals can accumulate in the crevices of the watch, weakening the leather straps and damaging the case.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Consult your watch manual<\/h2>\n<p>Each watch is unique, so it is important to consult the manual for specific care for your model.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Perform maintenance with professionals<\/h2>\n<p>Do not attempt to open the watch yourself. If there is a problem with your watch, always contact a specialised repair service.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/joyeriagordillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2-4-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Professional watch maintenance\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/joyeriagordillo.com\/taller-de-relojeria\/\">Gordillo Jewellers<\/a> we know how important a timepiece can be.
