Maintaining Your Vacheron Constantin Manual and Automatic Mechanical Watches
To ensure your Vacheron Constantin timepiece continues to operate with the same excellence as it did on day one, regular maintenance is crucial to preserve its superior quality and legendary longevity. Here are key maintenance guidelines for both manual and automatic mechanical Vacheron Constantin watches.
Vacheron Constantin Manual Mechanical Watches
Winding Your Watch
The energy generated by winding the crown is stored in the mainspring within the barrel. This energy is then transmitted to the movement, propelling the hands.
It is advisable to wind your watch at the same time daily to ensure consistent operation over 24 hours. If your watch is not worn regularly, it is recommended to wind it frequently to maintain long-term performance and minimize the need for adjustments.
Comprehensive Service
For the manual winding movement to function smoothly and the watch to remain accurate, a full service is recommended every 4 to 5 years at a Vacheron Constantin authorized service center. For complex function watches, a comprehensive service every 3 to 4 years is advisable.
Moisture Protection
Annual inspection of all sealing gaskets is strongly recommended to maintain the watch’s original water-resistance.
Leather Strap Care
Leather straps require delicate care. Avoid moisture and cosmetic products as they can accelerate the aging of leather.
Vacheron Constantin Automatic Mechanical Watches
How to Wind
The energy produced by wrist movement is transferred to the mainspring through the oscillating weight.
It is recommended to wind your watch daily through natural wrist motion. For watches not worn regularly, consider using a watch winder to ensure continuous operation and avoid frequent adjustments.
Comprehensive Service
To ensure the automatic winding mechanism operates efficiently and the watch remains accurate, a full service is recommended every 4 to 5 years at a Vacheron Constantin authorized service center. For watches with complex functions, a comprehensive service every 3 to 4 years is advisable.
Moisture Protection
It is crucial to ensure the crown is tightly secured to the case after adjusting time or functions to prevent moisture ingress.
Leather Strap Care
The care for leather straps is identical for both manual and automatic watches. Remember, leather is delicate and sensitive. Moisture and cosmetic products can deteriorate leather straps.
We recommend reading your Vacheron Constantin watch manual thoroughly for essential information on how to use your timepiece properly and how to maintain the strap optimally. Should you have any questions, please contact your nearest Vacheron Constantin consultant for guidance.
