Should you wash your watch to fight with the Covid-19?

Watches, and particularly wrist-watches, are very much exposed to the world pandemic crisis we have been facing during the previous few weeks. To counter it, measures have been taken, like a full population confinement in certain countries. Worn everyday on the wrist, a watch is thus extremely exposed to the coronavirus. Kronos360 advises you to take some measures on the cleaning of your timepieces in order to contain the spread of the pandemic.

What precautions you should take?

If you are wearing your watch on a daily basis, it is widely exposed to the virus and can be a source of spread. Stainless steel watches are the most concerned watches as the Covid-19 can survive on this material for over 72 hours. It is thus important to adopt certain movements and acts:

-When you cough in your elbow, your can can be directly "infected". Thus wash your hands after manipulating your watch.

-When you take off your watch, wash the bracelet, the bezel and the case with a hydroalcoholic solution or soapy water.

-Keep your watch in its box when you are not wearing it.

Dont forget that you wear your watch every day, and that it is permanently exposed to outside element. Take care of yourdselves, take care of your timepieces.
