We want your new Loupe timepiece to last a lifetime, and we know you want
this too. With hundreds of moving parts and complex components, it’s easy to forget the care and attention a
watch needs. Give them the love they deserve with these tips. We call it ‘happily ever aftercare’. P.S. it’s
important to remember every watch is unique and will require bespoke care. You should always read the manual for
your watch.
When not wearing your watch, it’s best to keep it
boxed to reduce scratching. For timepieces with an automatic movement, a watch winder will keep
the parts ticking away when you’re not wearing it. For watches with a hand-wound movement,
you’ll need to give them a daily wind yourself – taking care not to overwind.
For a mechanical watch, we recommend getting it
serviced every two to three years. For a quartz, three to four years. This will vary dependant
on the brand and your own personal use. Drop by a Loupe boutique for bespoke servicing advice.
Please don’t ever open your watch – this isn’t one to tackle yourself.
Give a little TLC
Tender loving cleaning… It’s definitely possible to safely
clean your timepiece at home. Use your complimentary microfibre cloth to give the watch case a clean – you
can slightly dampen it too. We would recommend bringing your watch in to one of our Loupe boutiques for a deeper
clean, polish and inspection. Plus it’s the perfect excuse for a glass of fizz or relaxing coffee.
We can also resize your bracelet watch by adding or removing
links. Just bring your timepiece to our boutique.
