How Can I Maintain Movado Watches?

Just like most other pieces of jewelry, it's important that you treat your Movado watches with the utmost of care. If it's a high quality watch, you will need to make double sure that you don't scuff up the glass faceplate, the trim or ruin the band. Sometimes you could consider looking into taking it to a shop where they clean luxury watches for you, but sometimes this can also be expensive as well. So here are a few steps you can take at home in order to spruce up your watch so that it looks brand new once more!

First off, it seems that a lot of people recommend the good old soap and water trick by using a toothbrush to get between the nooks and crannies. Make sure if your watch isn't waterproof though that you keep it away from the water as much as possible! If you are cleaning the watch band and it's detachable - stainless steel or gold, you can also use something called methylated spirits. This isn't the "spirits" you drink! These are alcoholic solvents that are used for spirited burners - yes, this one is another one that needs safety precautions! People absolutely swear by it though. Simply place the spirit in a shallow dish and place the gold or stainless steel piece in the dish and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Remember to NOT put the actual watch face in this or the battery or anything else like that! If you are too worried about using the methylated spirits you can also use an alternate method such as rubbing alcohol. The last option you have available to you, which is also the safest and seems to work THE best is to buy a cleaning kit that is specifically for your kind of watch or for luxury watches. For instance, the watches we sell on our site, can be sent to a few of the Movado service centers in order to be cleaned professionally. But you can also buy a personal home kit as well for luxury watches or Movado watches. Just be sure to follow the directions!
