To clean your watch, we recommend wiping it with a soft jewelry cloth or a microfiber towel. As most watches are vintage and pre-owned, please avoid exposure to water and other harsh chemicals.

Although all pieces are guaranteed to be in good physical and working condition, the watches are still vintage and pre-owned. Please manage your expectations.
