Five Habits That Keep a Watch Like New

A watch that is looked after keeps its shine and its time. These five habits take almost no effort.

Five habits

• Wipe it weekly. A soft microfibre cloth removes the film that dulls steel and crystal.
• Push the crown in. Always, before water.
• Keep it from magnets. Speakers and phone cases can make a mechanical watch run fast.
• Rest leather. Let a leather strap dry after a hot day, away from the sun.
• Service it. An automatic watch likes a service every four to five years.
