Vintage Timepieces
Antique
timepieces and vintage watches often possess special beauty of the era
and craftsmanship unmatched by the current line of watches.
Each piece is unique and some possess
quite a historical value with their rarity.
Mechanical
watches can last a century and more with proper care and
maintenance. Manual wind watches should be wound once a day
approximately around the same time. Automatic wind pieces should be
wound by wearing the watch or utilizing winders to have watches
properly "exercised", thereby extending the time period
between expensive overhauls.
Although,
many vintage watches claim to be waterproof or resistant, we don't
recommend you to submerge the time piece in water as many are dustproof and sweat proof rather than waterproof. Any
mechanical watches, vintage and new, should be overhauled by qualified
watchmakers in every of 3 to 5 years in order to maintain the
movements in proper conditions. With proper maintenance your
special piece will be fit to be passed on for generations. All
of the watches sold at AntiqueWatchOnline.com are properly serviced and
lubricated. |
