Storing Genuine Leather Swiss Watches
Genuine leather Swiss watches, be they made from alligator, lizard, shark, ostrich, or calfskin, are prone to hardening over time due to wear. However, with proper care, you can extend the life of a leather watch strap significantly, making it a cost-effective choice for watch enthusiasts.
Sunlight Exposure: A genuine leather Swiss watch should never be left in direct sunlight. The harsh UV rays can cause the leather to dry out, crack, and fade. Therefore, it’s crucial to store your leather Swiss watch in a dry and cool place. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can bleach the strap’s color, hasten the aging process of the leather, and even certain chemicals can alter or strip the color of the strap; excessive pulling or stretching, especially at the strap’s fixed positions, may lead to tears (the greater the curvature of the strap, the easier it is to break). Thus, it’s advisable to handle the strap gently and cautiously.
By adhering to these simple storage guidelines, your genuine leather Swiss watch can remain a timeless accessory for years to come, combining elegance with durability.
