Size & Care Guide

Size & Care Guide

A luxury timepiece is an investment meant to last a lifetime — and beyond. This guide will help you find the right fit and care for your watch so it continues to perform and impress for years to come.

Finding Your Wrist Size

The right fit ensures both comfort and elegance. To measure your wrist at home:

  • Step 1: Wrap a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper around your wrist, just below the wrist bone where you would normally wear a watch.
  • Step 2: Mark or note where the tape meets, then measure the length in centimetres.
  • Step 3: Use the measurement to choose your ideal fit.

General Sizing Guidance

  • 14–16 cm: Smaller wrist — case sizes around 36–40 mm are often most flattering.
  • 16–18 cm: Medium wrist — case sizes around 40–42 mm typically suit well.
  • 18 cm and above: Larger wrist — case sizes of 42 mm and up make a confident statement.

These are general guidelines. Personal style and preference always come first — some collectors prefer a bolder or more understated look regardless of wrist size.

Caring for Your Timepiece

Proper care preserves both the beauty and the value of your watch:

  • Keep it clean: Wipe the case and bracelet gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and oils. For metal bracelets, an occasional clean with a lightly dampened cloth helps maintain shine.
  • Avoid extremes: Protect your watch from extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and harsh chemicals such as perfumes and solvents.
  • Mind the water: Only expose your watch to water within its rated water resistance, and never operate the crown or pushers while submerged.
  • Store with care: When not worn, keep your watch in its box or a dedicated watch case, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
  • Service regularly: Mechanical watches benefit from periodic professional servicing to keep their movement running accurately.
