How to maintain a Vacheron Constantin watch movement?

　　Vacheron Constantin inherits traditional Swiss watchmaking excellence, and its precise timekeeping is widely recognised. However, to keep your watch running accurately, proper maintenance of the movement is essential. So, how should you service a Vacheron Constantin watch movement? Let us find out with Xiao Ya below.

　　Vacheron Constantin watch movement maintenance methods

　　Method 1: Avoid shocks

　　Adequate physical activity is required to keep it wound and running normally (if the wearer is not very active, the watch may run slow, which is normal. For first-time use, please rotate the crown 20-30 times to provide initial tension to the mainspring). Although the watch is shock-resistant, strong external impacts can easily break the balance staff or wheel train pivots, and can also cause the regulator to shift, affecting timekeeping. If your budget allows, it is worth having two or three watches to rotate in daily life: wear a mechanical watch for static activities and a quartz watch for sports. Using them appropriately according to the occasion helps extend the service life of the watches.

　　Method 2: Prevent magnetisation

　　Although the watch is made of non-magnetic materials that are not easily magnetised, its timekeeping is significantly affected by magnetic fields, such as those near television or radio speakers, or magnetic clasps on backpacks or handbags.

　　Method 3: Water resistance

　　Try not to wear the watch while swimming or doing laundry. If it gets wet from rain or water, do not pull out the crown to adjust the watch; dry it immediately. Seawater should be avoided entirely. Even for watches marked as water-resistant, there is only a one-year guarantee, as the water-resistant seals will inevitably wear out after a year due to sweat, dust, and other external factors. Therefore, the seals must be replaced after one year, otherwise, the watch will lose its water resistance. Since the crown protrudes, try to avoid knocking it. Also, pay attention to the gap between the crown and the case; if it is too small, it will affect operation, and if it is too large, it will affect water resistance and aesthetics.

　　How to maintain a Vacheron Constantin watch?

　　1. Regular comprehensive service for Vacheron Constantin watches

　　To ensure the smooth operation of a manual-winding movement and guarantee the precision of the timepiece, it is recommended that you have a comprehensive service carried out every 4 to 5 years, and please choose an authorised Vacheron Constantin service centre. If your timepiece features complications, it is recommended to have a full service every 3 to 4 years.

　　2. Moisture protection for Vacheron Constantin watches

　　It is strongly recommended to service all gasket seals annually to ensure pristine water resistance. Please use the watch appropriately in accordance with its water-resistance characteristics. To prevent moisture from entering the movement, please check that the crown is screwed down tightly against the case after adjusting the time or functions. If water accidentally enters the case or any signs of moisture are detected, please take your watch to the nearest authorised Vacheron Constantin service centre immediately. After contact with seawater, it is recommended to rinse your watch (water-resistant models) with fresh water and then dry it with a soft cloth.

　　3. Maintenance of Vacheron Constantin genuine leather straps

　　The strap also requires careful maintenance. Genuine leather is a delicate, sensitive and living material that requires special care. Please note that moisture and skincare products will accelerate the ageing of the leather.
