A Pierre Moreau watch is more than just a timekeeper – it is a lifelong companion.
To ensure it maintains its accuracy and elegance over many years, it requires something often neglected in our hectic daily lives: care. This care doesn't have to be complicated – but it should be regular and thoughtful. Here is how to properly care for your Swiss watch to keep it as reliable as it was designed.
1. Cleaning – with sensitivity, not force
Over time, dust, skin particles, and moisture accumulate everywhere – including on the case and the bracelet of the watch. For daily cleaning, use a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth. For metal bracelets, you can use lukewarm water with mild soap. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or abrasive polishing cloths – they can damage the surface. After cleaning, always dry carefully – especially around the crown and case.
2. The Crown – small movement, big effect
The crown is the central element of every watch. Make sure to always push it firmly back into position after setting the time. This protects the movement from dust, moisture, and pressure differences. If your watch has a screw-down crown, gently turn it clockwise until it is securely tightened. This small gesture can significantly extend the life of your watch.
3. Water is not the enemy – but it has limits
Most Pierre Moreau watches are water-resistant up to 10 ATM – meaning they are protected against rain, showering, and swimming. However, avoid wearing the watch in hot water or in saunas: heat can weaken the seals. If your watch has been worn during diving or contact with salt water, rinse it briefly with clear water and dry it with a soft cloth.
4. Magnetic Fields – the invisible enemy
Smartphones, laptops, or speakers generate magnetic fields that can affect the movement.
Therefore, do not place your watch directly next to electronic devices when you take it off. This keeps the precision of the movement undisturbed.
5. Maintenance – a worthwhile investment
Even the best watch requires occasional attention. We recommend having it checked by a professional every three to five years – especially the seals, batteries, and movement parts. Regular maintenance is not an obligation but a promise: that your watch will remain precise for decades and can be passed down.
