This isn&#8217;t just about addressing new issues, but proactively preventing potential ones. Regular cleaning, appropriate storage, and periodic servicing can ensure your watch feels brand new for years, if not generations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warranty and authenticity<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Owning one of H. Moser &amp; Cie.\u2019s luxury timepieces comes with certain privileges, one of which is a 24-month warranty. This warranty is a testament to the brand&#8217;s confidence in its creations. During any repair or restoration process, it&#8217;s paramount to ensure the authenticity of the materials and parts. The best way to guarantee only genuine H. Moser &amp; Cie. components are used is to let our own dedicated experts work their magic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-repair care<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Once your watch has been restored to its former glory, the journey of care doesn&#8217;t end. Regular cleaning with a soft lint-free cloth, shielding it from prolonged exposure to harsh elements, and ensuring it&#8217;s wound regularly (for mechanical variants) are essential steps. If the watch isn&#8217;t worn daily, storing it in a cool, dry place, preferably its original box, can prevent unnecessary wear and external damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Where can I get my watch serviced?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To service your H.
