WEAR & CARE

At Tempus Collective, we take pride in curating vintage and pre-owned pieces with character, charm, and history. Due to the unique and delicate nature of these items, gentle handling and proper care are essential to preserve their beauty and longevity.

Please note, Tempus Collective is not the original manufacturer of the items we offer. While we strive to describe the materials and finishes as accurately as possible, variations may occur. Product photos are taken to best reflect the actual condition of each piece, but slight differences in color may appear due to lighting or screen settings.

Watches & Accessories

Your watch or jewellery piece may feature finishes such as gold plating, gold wash, or gold flash, which naturally fade over time, especially with frequent use or exposure to external elements. Sterling silver components may also tarnish and will require occasional polishing.

To best preserve your item:

  • Always store your item in its soft pouch or original packaging when not in use.
  • Your jewellery or watch should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.
  • Avoid wearing your item while swimming, bathing, exercising, or sleeping.
  • Keep away from chemicals such as perfume, hairspray, lotion, sunscreen, chlorine, and cleaning products.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or any surfaces that may cause scratches or dents.

Cleaning Tips

To clean your item, use a soft, dry cloth and gently rub the surface.
Avoid using abrasive materials or scrubbing motions, especially on plated surfaces, as this may damage the finish.

Timekeeping Notes

All watches are checked for basic function and timekeeping prior to sale. However, due to the mechanical nature and vintage status of many pieces, we cannot guarantee long-term accuracy or performance. Functionality may vary depending on the age, movement type, and how the watch is stored or worn.

If you have specific concerns about how to care for a particular piece, feel free to reach out to us at halo@tempuscollective.com — we’re happy to assist.
