Recommendations for the owner of antique watches:

1. All Antique watches are mechanical.

2. Antique watches are generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you should protect your antique watch from exposure to moisture.

3. If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust.

4. When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise adjustments may damage the movement.

5. If you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours).

6. Every 2-3 years it is necessary to service and oil vintage watches.

7. To clean the case, dial and crystal you should use a cloth that does NOT leave fibers as these may get caught up in the movement. Check with your Watch repair expert to get an appropriate cloth.

8. Keep your antiques watch away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of your watch since some vintage watches were made with iron based components in the movement.

9. Most Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed.

10. Antique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good.

 

 
 



"Heinrich Moser grew up in Schaffhausen in the traditions and experience
of a watchmaking dynasty that had become established over the
generations. He learned the traditional watchmaker’s craft from his father,
Erhard Moser, between 1820 and 1824, and subsequently broadened his
knowledge in the watchmaking town of Le Locle. His plan to succeed
his father in the position of town watchmaker, to which the Moser family
had a claim, was thwarted by the Town Council in Schaffhausen.

As an ambitious and visionary watchmaker, Heinrich Moser decided to
set up in business in Russia. Tsarist Russia at the time was regarded as
an excellent labour and sales market and as a sound trading base for
watches.

After several employed positions as a watchmaker, he founded his own
company in St. Petersburg at the end of 1828. This marked the hour of
inception of the greatly successful brand, H. Moser & Cie. Alongside
precisionwatches and watches designed as pieces of jewellery, Heinrich
Moser also offered a range of simple watches.

As he built up his trading network, he came to realize that a successful
wholesaler should also be a manufacturer. Heinrich Moser accordingly
established a watch factory in Le Locle in 1829, which produced watches
exclusively for his businesses. This allowed him to guarantee the high
quality of his products. Eventually, he was made an honorary citizen of
Le Locle in acknowledgement of his services to the town in the Swiss Jura.

Heinrich Moser’s constant quest for quality was crowned by success. He
supplied the Imperial Court, various princes and the armed forces in
Russia. Within just a few years, he was selling watches to Persia, China
and Japan, as well as New York and Paris, where his brother Georg Moser
was working as a watchmaker. Only 15 years after starting his company,
Heinrich Moser was the undisputed market leader in the Russian watch
trade. He returned to his home town of Schaffhausen as a prosperous watch manufacturer and merchant at the end of 1848." wikipedia.org
