IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The movement of Time Machine is protected by a glass tube/
capsule.
The clock should never be in contact with any liquids – even in
vaporized form. If it occurs, the clock should be serviced imme-
diately. 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 wipe the clock. It is recom-
mended to keep the clock distant from any source of heat or
vibrations. To preserve the longevity and functionality of Time Ma-
chine, do not permanently expose the clock to direct sunlight or
in a humid/dusty place.
A simple contact on certain pieces can generate delays in
timekeeping, which can only be solved by servicing. Fingerprints
will also damage the coating.
Our clocks are developed to ensure optimal accuracy and re-
liability. 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 bigger variation, please
contact an authorized dealer who will advise you, or a L’Epée
1839 technical support center which will proceed with the ne-
cessary adjustment.
As for all Horological pieces of art, it is recommended to perio-
dically service your clock. A mechanical masterpiece requires
fine oils for the lubrication of the movement. These oils deterio-
rate over the years. We therefore advise having the movement
serviced every 3 to 5 years. Be aware that the optimal period
between servicing times can vary depending on the surrounding
environmental conditions.
It is recommended to handle Time Machine by the three legs, not
by the glass tube protecting the mechanism.
