Your luxury watches are special, and storing them the right way is important to keep them in good condition. We’ve put together a list of the most common mistakes watch owners make and how to avoid them. Here’s how to store your watches properly:
-
Use a Watch Winder for Automatic Watches
If you have an automatic watch, it needs to keep moving to stay accurate. Don’t leave it sitting still too long without a watch winder. A watch winder keeps it working and ready to wear! -
Don’t Store in Humid Places
Moisture can damage your watch over time. Keep your watches in a dry, controlled space to protect them from rust and condensation. -
Watch Out for Temperature Changes
Extreme heat or cold can affect your watch. Store your watches in a place with stable temperatures. -
Store Your Watches Flat
Always store watches flat to avoid scratches. Use a padded tray or watch box to keep them safe. -
Wind Your Mechanical Watches Before Storing
Before putting your mechanical (non-automatic) watch away, make sure it’s fully wound. This keeps it running smoothly. -
Don’t Use Low-Quality Storage
Cheap storage can damage your watches. Use LUXFORGE’s high-quality watch boxes to keep your collection safe and stylish. -
Keep Watches Away from Magnetic Devices
Magnets can mess with your watch’s movement, so store your watches away from phones and speakers. -
Regular Maintenance is Important
Even when you’re not wearing them, your watches need some love. Clean them and check for wear every now and then. -
Get a Safe for Extra Protection
A good safe will keep your watches secure. We offer storage with locks and fingerprint access to keep your precious collection safe. -
Display Your Watches Properly
A watch is a work of art. Don’t hide it away, display it in a safe and elegant way. LUXFORGE offers beautiful watch winders and boxes that will keep your watches safe and show them off with style.
A luxury watch is more than just a timekeeper, it’s a treasure, and storing it correctly helps protect that treasure for the future.
