If your watch has even a little fog inside, this means that there has been a handling error, or that it is no longer, or not waterproof. Do not panic. The most important thing is to provide solutions as quickly as possible in order to best preserve your components and allow the possible repair of your quartz or automatic watch.

The movement of a mechanical watch is a very sensitive organ and therefore your watch needs regular cleaning. Indeed, in addition to questions of hygiene and aesthetics, impurities can lodge deep in the watch and make their way to your mechanism and disrupt or even damage it. 

When we are interested in the world of watchmaking, we frequently hear the term “Super-LumiNova” and more rarely the words “Radium” or even “Tritium”. These rather technical terms ultimately refer to the luminescent material used on the dial of your watch. Each of these materials has its advantages, disadvantages and more or less undesirable effects.

The movement, also called caliber or mechanism, is the part that allows the watch to tell the time. The best known and, above all, the most widespread mechanisms are undoubtedly mechanical movements and battery-powered movements, also called quartz.

ETA is a Swiss watch company founded in 1793. It specializes in the production of watch movements and has long been considered one of the leaders in the sector. The acronym ETA stands for Elegance, Technology, Accuracy which can be translated as elegance, technology and precision in good French.
