WATCH COMPANY

Marloe Watch Company
Thank you for choosing the Derwent
by Marloe Watch Company.
The Derwent is a watch designed with nods to
a few traditional timepieces whilst oering a
more contemporary touch. A diameter of 38mm
harks back to the dress watches of the 50’s and
60’s, with the hi-dome custom acrylic crystal
also lending itself to the classic aesthetic. The
dial is more contemporary with a subtle domed
form leading outwards to an angled chapter ring,
which draws the eye in towards the dial. The
simple pitched profile hands aord the maximum
readability whilst continuing the traditional yet
contemporary feel. A quick peek at the case-back
and you’ll find a porthole displaying the balance
wheel smoothly oscillating back and forth, keeping
accurate time whilst oering a quick visual
indicator of your Derwent’s current power status.
Now it’s over to you to keep your Derwent ticking;
the power of the mainspring, steadily released
over 40 hours, comes directly from you with each
turn of the crown.
We hope you get as much enjoyment from
owning, wearing and using your Derwent as we’ve
had creating it.
To the future, and whatever it may hold.

Winding your Derwent
Inside your Derwent timepiece is a manual, hand-
winding, mechanical movement. Each movement
is powered by your touch, each turn of the crown
fuelling your Derwent.
Winding your Derwent every day keeps it ticking.
The necessity to wind your watch may at first be
unfamiliar, but soon enough you will find winding
your watch in the morning before you head out to
the hustle and bustle, or at night just before you
get that well earned shut eye, becomes part of
your daily routine.
Wind confidently until you feel the crown
bouncing back in your fingers. Once this starts
happening take it slower until you feel a firmer
resistance and then stop. This feeling of resistance
is the Mainspring within your Derwent coiling up
tighter and tighter. Try not to wind so much that
the crown comes to a hard stop - this will damage
your watch over time if repeatedly wound to this
hard stop point.
This full charge will keep your Derwent ticking for
over 40 hours. Quite amazing considering it’s just
a spring uncoiling itself slowly. Genius.
Wind your Derwent in a CLOCKWISE direction. The
Marloe “M” engraving should be as above, right way up.
Don’t worry - winding the crown in the opposite
direction won’t damage the movement, and it will sound
prey similar to actually winding it, but the only way to
charge your Derwent is to wind it clockwise.

Position A
This is when the crown is fully in, hard against
the case. This is the position for winding your
Derwent. Turn the crown CLOCKWISE to wind
your Derwent - 20 turns is enough.
Position B
Pulling the crown out from the case will
engage the time-seing mechanism within the
movement. It might take a lile firm pull to lever
the crown away from the case, but try not to
pull too hard. The crown won’t come o but it’s a
threaded part and will give way if forced.
Once the crown is in position B you can set the
time by turning the crown either clockwise or anti-
clockwise. Once the time is set push the crown
back towards the case firmly - you will feel a nice
click indicating the stem (the threaded part the
crown is aached to) has disengaged from the
time-seing mechanism and is now engaged back
in the winding mechanism.

Caring for your Derwent
Maintenance
Warranty
Your Derwent is made to be worn every single
day. However your Derwent isn’t designed to be
worn in challenging environments such as rock-
climbing or swimming - in fact it’s best to keep
your Derwent away from any form of water.
Splashes are OK from hand washing, but dunk in
water and you will damage it.
To keep everything clean use a new microfibre
cloth and gently polish away any fingerprints and
dirt. Do not use any abrasive or chemical cleaning
products on the case. The acrylic crystal can
be bued to remove any light scratches using
Polywatch or similar - a Cape Cod cloth will do the
same for the polished case finishes - don’t use
any form of polishing compound on the Rose-
Gold case as this will damage the case finish.
A mechanical movement, like a car engine, uses
oils to lubricate all the moving parts. Over time
this fine grade of oil can become gloopy, causing
your movement to begin losing accuracy and
generally bogging things down. Every 4-5 years
think about having your watch cleaned and
re-oiled by any professional watch service and
repair shop - it’ll keep everything ticking nicely.
Marloe Watch Co. oers a 1-year limited warranty
on all watches which covers manufacturing
defects. The warranty does not cover damages
that may occur from normal wear and tear and
everyday use.
If you have a warranty claim please contact us.
