Replenish the hand-rubbed oil finish once a year with food-grade mineral oil or walnut oil to maintain deep luster and water resistance.

Keep your watch box away from direct heat vents and severe sunlight. Maintain indoor relative humidity between 40% and 55% to prevent wood movement.

Brush microsuede watch pillows gently with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust. Wipe brass hinges with a dry microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemical polishes.
