Your watch is a unique piece made up of elements meticulously designed and assembled with the greatest care. For your watch to keep its impeccable appearance and optimal functioning for many years, it is important to maintain it regularly. Below are some care tips: First of all, our pre-sales maintenance check: Your GriGri watch is guaranteed for 2 years from the date of purchase. To avoid any malfunction of your watch, we are operating a control under our standards of excellence. For each hand-crafted watch, our teams are called upon to work on: - Assembly of the movement, cleaning- adjustment and verification of all functions - Waterproofing test checking for leaks - Cleaning the case and bracelet - Final quality control and packaging DESCRIPTION OF A MECHANICAL WATCH : Our automatic mechanical watches wind themselves on their wrists. If your watch stops or if you do not wear it for a long time, the movement must be wound manually by turning the crown several times in both directions. In order for your watch to wind properly, we recommend that you wear it for at least 8 to 10 hours a day.   DESCRIPTION OF A QUARTZ WATCH : The movement of quartz watches works with a battery. These watches, therefore, do not need to be wound. However, unlike a mechanical movement, the battery must be replaced. During the warranty period, we undertake to replace the battery if it no longer works.  HOW TO CLEAN YOUR WATCH ?   To maintain the impeccable appearance of your watch, clean the case and strap regularly with slightly soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry with a cloth. You can also use a soft toothbrush to gently clean your watch.  SPORTS FABRIC WRISTWATCHES  Check beforehand that the crown of the watch is screwed in or pushed in.

Clean the watch with soapy water and rinse thoroughly.

Avoid any exposure to chemicals, solvents or gases that may damage or deteriorate the housing. Do not apply any cosmetic or perfume products directly to the case or bracelet. Avoid repeated impacts, knocks and friction that could scratch the metal and affect the watch mechanism. We advise you not to expose your watch to extreme weather conditions. Below 0°C, the oil in the mechanism can lose its fluidity and slow down the movement. Above 60°C, the mechanism and battery life may be affected.

First of all, we check for each watch, after assembling, its waterproofness. Thus It is a question here of attaching the watch to the bottom of the metal rod (see photos). Then we fill the tube with water. We then replace the dome-shaped cover on the tube and pull the lever to increase the pressure up to the desired value (5 ATM), then wait 3 minutes and Finally we immerse the watch in water. If air bubbles come out of the watch (what you can see in the water) is that it is not waterproof, otherwise your watch is totally waterproof. This system is extremely reliable, because, any slightest leak can be seen right away. All the means to preserve the water resistance of your watch according to its water resistance degree: High temperature water? It is imperative not to wear a watch in saunas, hammams, showers, baths, in order to avoid deterioration of the seals due to high temperature. Seawater? Rinse the watch in fresh water after each immersion in sea water to prevent salt from damaging the seals. How to use your watch underwater? Remember not to touch the buttons or crown of your watch while it is underwater. Check that they are well inserted or screwed in.
