Vacation watch care tips
The long-awaited vacation is a happy time of adventure and relaxation! Happy hours are not observed, but they will never leave their favorite accessory unattended. Proper care of the watch during the holidays ensures that it will not let us down at the most crucial moment, and we will be on time for the plane, breakfast at the hotel and the excursion. Use our advice - and everything will be “hakuna matata”!
Storage
On vacation, make your watch feel "at home" by taking along a branded case for storing jewelry accessories (or another convenient box for storing watches). You will be confident that their safety is assured, as the watch will be comfortable.

Magnetic fields
Metal detectors at airports and train stations serve as a small door to vacation. Before passing through it, we immediately remove the mechanics and send them along with the inspection tape on the first trip (the magnetic field in the frame affects the accuracy of the mechanism). The bezel will not harm the quartz movement, but sometimes security officers themselves ask to remove the watch so that it does not squeak.
Mode
Our regular sleep schedule does not apply during vacation, so we may determine when and how long we sleep. The mechanical watches with manual winding, however, do not rest or sleep (which is why they are called workaholics!). Keep winding them regularly at the same time every day.
Extreme conditions
Jewelry watches are ideal companions for everyday activities and special occasions, but they should not be worn during extreme sports. A sport watch, on the other hand, is excellent for climbing mountains and hiking difficult terrain, whereas a jewelry watch should be kept in a safe place, counting down the minutes until you return.
Water conditions
Jewellery watches should not be submerged in water. It is best if they are kept away from the beach. What about a harmless cruise on a catamaran? Only if you are confident that your watch will be safe and well-cared for during your trip with friends and loved ones.
Sun
It is possible for parts of the watch mechanism and dial elements to suffer damage as a result of direct sunlight. It is therefore prudent to wear a watch on your hand at least at 40 degrees, but avoid leaving it in an open place under the scorching sun.
Quick assistance
Was your watch being protected like a hawk, and yet you were unable to save it? Has the watch fallen, broken, or stopped working? Wait until you reach home before visiting a specialist. It is not advisable to contact the workshops at the place of rest. Regardless of whether the battery is just dead, it is better to wait. There is no way of knowing what questions will arise later to the local master, and by that time you may have already left. It is best to put the damaged watch in the closed box that we discussed at the beginning of the article to prevent dust from entering.
