CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Use only a soft and dry cloth to clean the clock. Dust and
particles contained in the cloth could scratch parts. Do not
use any kind of cleaning products to clean the clock. It is
recommended to keep the clock distant from any source
of heat or vibrations. To preserve the longevity and func-
tionality of TriPod, do not permanently expose the clock
to direct sunlight or in a humid/dusty place.
Our clocks are developed to ensure optimal accuracy and
reliability. It is well accepted for a fine mechanical clock to
have a few seconds’ variation per day and our clocks are
set so as not to delay. However, if you should notice a big-
ger variation, please contact an authorized dealer who will
advise you, or a L’Epée 1839 technical support center
which will proceed with the necessary adjustment.
As for all horological pieces of art, it is recommended to
periodically service your clock. A mechanical masterpiece
requires fine oils for the lubrication of the movement.
These oils deteriorate over the years. We therefore advise
having the movement overhauled every 5 years. Be aware
that the optimal period between servicing times can vary
depending on the surrounding environmental conditions.
It is recommended to hold TriPod only by the legs, the
dome or the base. Avoid touching the glass, movement
and the glass spheres.
