The mechanism inside may be solid, it is better to avoid the risk of unnecessary shocks!

PAY ATTENTION TO HUMIDITY
As we told you earlier, wood and humidity don’t mix! The natural material we use guarantees you resistant products, but they are not intended to be waterproof. Our models are not designed to be in excessive and prolonged contact with water, at the risk of deforming the wood of the bracelet. Of course, it doesn’t matter if a few drops splash your wooden watch when you wash your hands. However, always remember to remove your watch before taking a shower or diving in your pool. This advice is also valid for our B wooden bracelets and for all the wooden accessories.

AVOID THE SUN AND TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS WITH WOODEN FASHION ACCESSORIES
In general, remember that your Wooden Watch does not like excessively large temperature differences. We therefore avoid overexposure to the sun as well as temperatures that are too hot or too cold. Yes, wood is a living and natural material, so it is sensitive to bad weather! Even though it is treated to be sturdy, it does prevent that prolonged exposure to the cold repeatedly could cause cracking. Exposure to direct sunlight could discolor the bracelet due to the effects of UV rays. A sunbathing afternoon looming? Be sure to store your watch carefully before heading to the beach!

STORE YOUR WATCH TO PROTECT IT
Not wearing your watch today? Store it in a suitable place to protect it. This will probably seem logical to you, but always choose an adequate storage space, protected from humidity, but also from the risk of possible scratches. Nothing worse than a loose storage with its keys for example. A protective case or its original storage box will be preferable to hasty storage in your pocket or backpack!

MAINTAIN YOUR WOODEN WATCH SO THAT IT LASTS OVER TIME
Did you know that it is not recommended to leave your watch with a non-functioning battery for too long? By force, the mechanism could go wrong. Therefore, check regularly that the battery is still in working order. Also, to clean your wooden watch, all you have to do is use a soft, slightly damp cloth, possibly with a cleaning product (also soft!). Gently rub the dial and the strap of your watch. One last tip? To properly clean your accessory, including in the small corners that are difficult to access (behind the dial), you can bring a cotton swab.

Also know that your watch will age, it’s only natural! Over time, you will see that it will take on a patinated effect, more matte than at the beginning. If you regret the shine of its early days, you can apply a little protective oil or wax specially designed for wood. Your beloved watch should then regain all its youth!

Here we are, we have made the tour of the essential precautions for use! You are now ready to take care of your wooden watch with our methods.
