Service Recommendations for Michele Watches – It is highly recommended to have your Michele luxury watch serviced every 18 months to two years in order to ensure its long use and care-free operation. Your finely tuned timepiece is a complex integration of parts and components assembled by skilled craftsmen. There are particular actions and environmental situations that may damage or impede your timepiece’s ability to perform optimally, and among them are: extreme heat or cold, prolonged periods of exposure to direct sunlight, and exposure to wet conditions that exceed your timepiece’s water rating. Never operate any of the function buttons or crown when the timepiece is in contact with water, and always avoid extreme shock or impact.

Historical Info
In Belgium in the 1940s, Maurice Barouh decided to start his own watch company. He was quickly succeeded by his son Jack, who branded the line of watches started by his father as Michele Watches, naming the brand after his daughter. Maurice founded the line of watches on his own obsession with style, craftsmanship and quality, and the Michele line has carried on the tradition and fortified it with each family member’s strengths. This is how Michele came to be one of the most highly coveted fashion accessories in the latter half of the 20th century. With their exceptional creativity and durability, Michele watches have long been regarded as family heirlooms, passed down from generation to generation.
Technological Advancements
Michele watches are known for their refined elegance mixed with unusual touches that reflect upscale, contemporary design. Three generations of the Barouh family have worked on producing lines of constantly evolving watch styles which feature affluent materials, rare gemstones and that appeal to anyone with an eye for originality and attitude. Michele is also notably famous for its meticulously balanced chronographs.
What Makes Michele Watches Unique
Michele watches are often associated with an elite class of women, making them admired worldwide for their refined elegance and astounding designs. Michele’s contemporary designs have been sought after for many generations for their universal style and appeal.
