A well-maintained mechanical watch can last for generations. The key is consistent, proper care. Here’s everything you need to know to keep your Farasute running perfectly.

Daily Care

The most important thing you can do is simply wear your watch. Automatic movements are designed to run continuously – the motion of your wrist keeps them wound. If you have multiple watches, a watch winder can keep idle ones running.

Cleaning

Clean your watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For the case and bracelet, warm water and mild soap work well. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage finishes. If your watch has a leather strap, keep it away from water to prevent deterioration.

Water Resistance

Even with a 100m water resistance rating, avoid hot water – heat can expand the rubber seals and compromise water resistance. After swimming in salt water, rinse your watch with fresh water to prevent corrosion.

Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A watch box or pouch protects against dust and scratches. If storing long-term, release the crown to stop the movement and extend power reserve life.

Service Intervals

We recommend a full service every 3-5 years. This includes complete disassembly, cleaning, lubrication, and reassembly by a qualified watchmaker. Regular servicing ensures accuracy and prevents wear from old lubricants.

Treat your watch well, and it will reward you with decades of reliable service and beauty.
