Can I wear my watch in the shower?
Though a lot of watches and Swiss timepieces are known to be water resistant wearing your watch in the shower is not generally recommended if you don’t have a screw down crown or if the watch hasn’t been pressure tested after a recent service. For the watches that do have a screw down crown be sure it is finger tight against the case before getting it wet and don’t press any of the buttons if it is a chronograph while you are in the shower or bath. Water won’t usually hurt the outer case of the watch (unless it is plated or made from less than surgical grade stainless steel) but over time, soaps, shampoos, and oils and dirt residue can affect the little intricacies in the watch bracelet potentially wearing it out sooner.
We advise against wearing your watches in the shower.
Can I wear my pearls in the shower?
Pearls are incredibly delicate products of nature. This being so, a pearl’s lustrous surface can easily be affected by any chemicals, oils, soaps, shampoos, cosmetics, and alkaline environments. As a strict guideline, you should never shower with your pearls on and always wipe them gently after wearing with a soft cloth.
All in all, you should remove your jewelry and timepieces before showering to prolong the life and luster of your investment. If you accidentally expose your jewelry to soaps and oils in the shower, quickly rinse it off with plain water and dry thoroughly yet gently with a soft cloth. We recommend designating a place that is conveniently near or in your bathroom away from any drains for safe keeping while bathing. To prevent the risk of breakage, carefully remove your jewelry over a soft surface. Pay special care to this process while traveling, as valuable pieces can often be forgotten when you are busy and out of your normal routine.
Follow these easy guidelines to ensure your jewelry and timepieces look as lustrous as the day they you got them!
