We recommend the following care:
Condensation: In case of a sudden change of temperature, a small amount of condensation may appear beneath the glass of your watch. It will disappear on its own and will not prevent the watch from working properly. If the condensation persists, we recommend that you contact your gérald genta representative to have it checked, which you can do by submitting a form here: https://www.geraldgenta.com/care/contact-us/
Frequency of service for a mechanical movement: We recommend that you have your movement serviced approximately every three years. Please contact your gérald genta representative to arrange for servicing.
