Taking care of your watch

Your Piaget watch is a carefully crafted precious instrument, and it requires proper care. In this section, we will provide you with the key information to care for your watch, such as tips on daily care, cleaning and storage. Our Piaget specialists are also available in our boutiques to provide you with personalised maintenance advice.

Tips for daily care

Eight simple tips for looking after your luxury watch.

  • Your mechanical watch will enjoy being wound up each day to keep its movement in motion.

    • For a manual-winding watch, turn the crown until it resists, without forcing it. 
    • For a self-winding (automatic) watch, we recommend at least 20 turns of the crown.
  • Your quartz watch loves a fresh battery anytime it stops

  • Keeping your watch away from magnetic fields will preserve its precision. 

    In case of doubt, you can have your watch checked by taking it to a Piaget boutique or authorised retailer.

  • Take your watch off before you swim in seawater or use cosmetics. To clean your watch case and metal bracelet, simply wipe with a little soapy water (on waterproof watch only) and dry with a soft cloth. 

  • Protect your watch by removing it when carrying out activities involving strong vibrations or impacts.

  • Nighttime is for sleeping, you can adjust the date on your watch at any time during the day to preserve its mechanism.

  • When not on your wrist, your watch should remain in a safe, dry place, protected from light.

  • Help keep the strap of your watch looking like new by following a few care tips:

    For leather straps avoid the following: 

    ·        Frequent contact with water

    ·        Exposure to excessive humidity

    ·        Prolonged exposure to sunlight

    ·        Contact with cosmetics and oily materials

    For rubber straps, avoid:

    ·        Nail varnish

    ·        Prolonged exposure to sunlight
