IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please be very careful to never touch the movement of
Sun Clock (here in red). The movement should never be
in contact with any liquids - even in vaporized form. If it
occurs, the clock should be serviced immediately.
A simple contact on certain pieces can generate delays in
timekeeping, which can only be solved by servicing.
Fingerprints will also damage the coating.

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 wipe the clock or the
skull. It is recommended to keep the clock distant from any
source of heat or vibrations. To preserve the longevity and
functionality of Sun Clock, do not permanently expose the
clock to direct sunlight or in a humid or 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
bigger variation, please contact an authorized dealer who
will advise you, or a L’Épée 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 serviced every 3 to 5 years. Be aware that
the optimal period between servicing times can vary de-
pending on the surrounding environmental conditions.

WINDING THE MOVEMENT
To wind the movement of Sun Clock, use the larger
diameter end on the key. Place in point A on front of the
clock, see below. The movement should be fully wound
every 8 days. Be sure to wind up the spring completely.
At the end of the winding procedure, you will feel the
necessary force increase significantly; do not wind further
as this is the sign that the movement is fully wound.
Make sure the minute and hour hands are away from the
winding button hole to avoid any damages.
