How to clean a watch?

If you want your watch to have a long, prosperous life, you should clean it every now and then. A wristwatch tends to get dirty from dust and dirt and even from sweat and body oil. When a watch is dirty it wears faster. This is true to every part of the watch, from the bracelet to the crown. So how to clean a watch?


When your watch’s bracelet gets dirty and sticky, you need to detach the bracelet and let is soak in soapy water for a couple of hours. When you finish soaking, scrub the bracelet, the links, and hinges on both sides and remove the icky residue.

If you can not remove the watch bracelet and your watch is not waterproof – take it to a watchmaker or jeweler and let them do the work for you.

Same goes for the crown. If there is dirt, it can get into your case and destroy the inside. You should detach the crown and let it soak. If you think you can handle taking your watch apart, make sure you know what you are doing and how to put it back. If not – take it to a jeweler or a watchmaker.
