Here you can find all the details on how to show your CLUSE watches some tender loving care. From everyday use to general maintenance, we will answer all your most asked questions on how to take care of your CLUSE items in order to ensure that your watch is looking as good as the day we sent it to you!
Product care & maintenance
Always clean the watch gently with a clean, dry, and soft cloth. Cloths containing dirt, sand or dust particles may lead to scratches and should therefore be avoided.
Try to avoid contact with products including (but not limited to): perfume, cosmetics, cream, sun lotion, and cleaning products.
Additionally, make an effort to steer clear of hard or rough materials.
It's also advisable to avoid the exposure of your watch to humid environments (such as bathrooms while showering). Prolonged exposure to sunlight might also damage your watch. We recommend that you do not wear our watches during sports or while sleeping.

How to adjust the size of your link watch strap?
We highly recommend visiting your local jeweler to adjust the fit of your linked bracelet strap, so they can safely remove links without damaging the product. Please note that you may be charged for this service and that CLUSE cannot be held responsible for these charges.
All our watches with link straps arrive with 2 additional links. If you would like to order more spare links, please reach out to our Customer Care Team.
Is my watch water resistant?
CLUSE watches are 3ATM and 5ATM resistant: this means that the watch is protected against minor splashes of water. 3ATM CLUSE watches cannot be worn during showering, bathing, swimming or diving whereas 5ATM watches can be worn during cold or lukewarm showers. CLUSE watches should not be exposed to warm or hot water or to chemical substances such as perfume, cosmetics and cleaning products. Please note CLUSE watches can also be influenced by water vapor and condensation caused by warm environments or condition and thus, should also stay away from warm or hot water.
Automatic watches
Automatic watches are marvels of engineering, combining precision and craftsmanship. They rely on the motion of the wearer's wrist to keep them powered. Proper care and maintenance will ensure your automatic watch remains accurate and functions well for years to come.
By following this care manual, you can ensure the longevity and performance of your automatic watch, preserving its beauty and functionality for years to come.
Wearing your automatic watch regularly helps to keep it running smoothly. The natural motion of your wrist winds the mainspring and ensures that your watch will continue to run.
If you don't wear your watch every day, the watch will stop running (if fully wound) after 40-41 hours. We recommend to manually wind it by turning the crown approximately 15-25 times until the watch starts running by itself before setting the correct time.
Pull the crown out to the first position to set the time. It is best to only turn the crown clockwise when setting the time to avoid any unnecessary strain on the movement.
Avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields created by e.g. hair dryers and induction cooktops as they can (temporarily) affect the accuracy and proper functioning of the watch. Long lasting exposure to such fields may magnetise the movement and early service can become necessary.
Avoid the following high impact activities like sports, motorcycle riding, construction work and/ or using power tools as this can damage the movement.
Automatic watches require periodic servicing every 3-5 years. Always take your watch to an authorized service centre to ensure proper handling and genuine parts.
How to adjust the time and date of a chrono watch?
By pulling the crown to the middle position, you can turn the crown clockwise to set the date. To set the time, pull the crown to the furthest position and turn clockwise. Once you have set the correct date and time, push the crown back to the position you started with, and you are good to go! If you are not sure how to continue from here, you can always take a look at our warranty manual for further instructions.
