How Do I Care for My Vintage Finds?

Our Vintage Finds Collection is filled with timeless treasures, each with its own unique charm and history. From delicate vintage watches to rare, one of a kind designs, these pieces may deserve a little extra love and attention.

 With thoughtful care, you can help preserve their beauty and character for years to come.

These care instructions are intended specifically for pieces purchased from our Vintage Finds Collection.

Everyday Care Tips

Vintage watches are more delicate than modern accessories and should be handled with extra care to preserve their condition.

• Keep away from water. Avoid wearing your vintage watch while showering, swimming, washing your hands, or participating in water related activities. Vintage watches should not be considered water resistant, even if originally labeled as such.

• Avoid moisture and humidity. Prolonged exposure to moisture may damage internal watch components and affect the finish.

• Limit contact with beauty products. Apply perfumes, lotions, and skincare products before putting on your watch to prevent residue and discoloration.

• Handle gently. Avoid dropping, bending, or applying excessive pressure to the watch face, clasp, or bracelet.

• Remove during physical activities. We recommend taking off your watch before exercising, sleeping, or participating in activities that could cause impact or scratches.
  
  

How to Clean Your Vintage Watch

Gentle cleaning is the best way to preserve your vintage watch's original condition.

1. Wipe gently. Use a clean, soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and everyday buildup.

2. Clean delicate areas carefully. Use a soft, dry brush to gently remove dust around the bracelet links and clasp without applying excessive pressure.

3. Avoid soaking. Never submerge your vintage watch in water or use running water to clean it.

4. Avoid harsh cleaning products. Do not use jewelry dips, polishing solutions, abrasive cleaners, or ultrasonic cleaning devices, as these may damage delicate finishes and components.

For deeper cleaning or restoration, we recommend consulting a professional watch specialist experienced with vintage timepieces.

How to Store Your Vintage Watch

Proper storage is especially important for preserving vintage pieces when they are not being worn.

• Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.

• Keep it in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to help prevent scratches.

• Store watches separately from other jewelry to avoid accidental damage.

• Avoid placing heavy objects on top of your watch or bending the bracelet into unnatural positions.

• Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields and extreme temperatures.
  
  

Do Vintage Watches Require Battery Replacement or Maintenance?

Many vintage watches use older movements and components that may require occasional professional maintenance.

Battery Operated Watches

If your vintage watch stops ticking or begins keeping inconsistent time, it may need a battery replacement or professional servicing.

We recommend having batteries replaced by an experienced watch technician to avoid damaging delicate internal components.

Mechanical Watches

Some vintage watches operate through manual winding or automatic movements rather than batteries. These may require periodic servicing to maintain proper functionality.

Always refer to your specific watch's movement type before attempting to wind, adjust, or replace any components.

Can I Wear My Vintage Watch Every Day?

Vintage watches can be beautiful everyday accessories, but we recommend wearing them with extra care.

Unlike modern watches, older timepieces may have more delicate components and may be more sensitive to moisture, impact, and daily wear.

To help preserve their condition, consider rotating your vintage watch with other accessories and removing it during activities that may expose it to unnecessary damage.
