Watch polishing

Polish or protect your watch? Discover the better alternative

Are you bothered by small scratches on your watch crystal? Then you'll quickly turn to watch polishing or watch crystal polishing. Polishing can make your watch look like new again, but it's not a permanent solution. In fact, after a while, new scratches will appear, and you'll have to polish again.

With a Chaperon crystal protector, you achieve the same optical result (scratches become less visible or disappear from view), but you also prevent new scratches from appearing. This way, you protect your watch structurally and save on future maintenance.

What exactly is watch polishing

Polishing a watch means that a thin layer of material is removed from the watch crystal or watch case to make scratches less visible. This can be done professionally or sometimes even at home with special polishing agents.

Advantages of polishing watch crystal:

  • Scratches are temporarily less visible
  • Your watch looks fresher again

Disadvantages of polishing a watch:

  • The effect is temporary
  • Scratches will reappear over time
  • Each polishing removes a little material
  • Costs increase if you have to do this more often
  • Not every watch crystal is suitable for frequent polishing

In short: polishing is repairing, not protecting.
