RECOMMENDATIONS AND CARE
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The rigor parts in mechanical clockworks are complex, fine and exactly adjusted apparatuses that need to be
taken care of.
In order to avoid damages or dangers, never open the watchcase. Instead, let a specialist do all the work. For
a long lifespan, please pay attention to the safety and care instructions. If the watch is opened by force, the
warranty will expire.
• The clock-face is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire glass. The glass forgives hits in normal everyday use
without any problems. However, avoid hard strokes or hits.
• Mechanical watches should not be worn while playing golf, since the disturbances during the drive off shock
the watch every time extremely. Protect the watch from hard hits and shocks.
• If possible, do not expose the watch to extreme temperature differences, since this can lead to malfunctions
and to a shortened lifespan.
• A mechanical watch does not belong into a sauna, because the lube oils are being heavily liquefied in these
temperatures.
• Please don’t forget that the waterproofness of watches decreases over time.
• In case the watch got in contact with seawater, you should wash it with clear water resp. wipe it thoroughly
with a clean, damp cloth. Seawater does not only attack seals and stainless steel, but also other materials.
• Avoid direct contact of the watch with solvents or detergents, perfume, cosmetics and chemicals etc. since
these kinds of products can lead to discoloration and damages on the casing, wristband, seals or other parts of
the watch.
• Avoid strong electric fields, static electricity or magnet fields that can damage the mechanics of the watch.
Magnetized watches lose their accuracy. Your watch is usually not influenced by magnetic fields that are
produced by mobile phones and so on.
• In order to keep the lubricants elastic, the watch should not stand still or be exposed to direct sunlight for too
long. We suggest the usage of a watch winder, if the watch is not worn for a longer period of time.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
• Keep your watch clean. Use soft cloths for cleaning and drying it. Glasses wipes or microfiber cloths are espe-
cially suitable for this kind of task.
• Metal wrist bands should be cleaned regularly in order to maintain their attractive appearance. Leather bands:
if possible, avoid a lot of contact with water or moisture, so that the leather is not deformed or discolored.
Leather is a natural material that reacts sensitive to fats and e.g. makeup.
• A mechanical watch should not “run dry” by all means, because this way, irrevocable damages could occur to
parts due to their grinding against each other.
