Once you have bought a quality watch, you will want to make sure that you keep it in decent shape. Often people don’t realize that there is a certain procedure that is required for the upkeep of a watch. This fact is especially true if you are not wearing your watch on a regular basis. This concept might, at first, seem counterintuitive. Many people think that they can better preserve a watch if it is sitting in a drawer. However, if you don’t wear your watch every so often, the lubricants can harden. As a result, the mechanical part of the watch can end up with friction that ends up damaging the internal timekeeping movements. Make sure that you at least take time to wind your watch. Just because a watch is in your drawer doesn’t mean that you can forget about it.
