Properly caring for your Chronograph – a comprehensive guide
A chronograph is not just a timepiece; it is an art piece and an investment. Ensuring it serves you well for many years requires proper care.
Regular maintenance
Like a car, a watch requires regular maintenance. A professional inspection every three to five years can help identify and address issues early.
Cleaning your watch
A clean chronograph not only looks better but functions better too. Use a soft cloth with lukewarm water to gently clean your watch - avoiding harsh chemicals.
Protection from Water and Magnetism
Even waterproof watches should not be exposed unnecessarily to water. Ensure the crown is securely closed. Magnetic fields can affect your watch's mechanics; thus, avoid contact with strong magnets. All Findeisen watches are anti-magnetic in accordance with DIN 8309.
Proper Storage
When not wearing your chronograph, store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight. A watch box protects against dust and scratches.
Handling the Strap
Leather straps should be protected from moisture, while metal bracelets should be regularly checked for wear. Replace the strap if necessary to extend the life of your watch.
Careful wearing
Avoid wearing your watch during extreme activities or exposing it to hard shocks which might damage its internal mechanisms.
