Recommendations
for the owner of vintage watches:
- All
Antique watches are mechanical. Many repairs will not be cheap, as most likely
they will require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most late model
watches).
-
Antique watches should not be beaten or dropped - because repairs may be
expensive.
-
Antique watches are generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was
not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most
watches. Therefore, you should protect your antique watch from exposure to
moisture.
-
Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. If you can avoid
it do not wind the watch hard.
- When
adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only.
Counter-clockwise adjustments may damage the movement.
- Keep
your antiques watch away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the
accuracy of your watch since some vintage watches were made with iron based
components in the movement.
- Most
Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch
should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed.

you!
