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. Do not permanently expose the clock to
direct sunlight.
Our clocks are developed to ensure optimal accuracy and
reliability. It is well accepted for a ne 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 wider
variation, please contact an authorized dealer who will
advise you, or a L’Épee 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 ne oils for the lubrication of the movement.
These oils deteriorate over the years. We therefore advise
having the movement overhauled every 5 years.

Place the clock upside down on a at surface and wind up
the movement (see point Aon the following picture)
anti-clockwise with the larger diameter hole of the key. The
movement must be fully wound every 8 days. Be sure to
wind up the spring completely, but without forcing it.
During the process, you can see wheels moving to allow
one unique barrel to be wound up. At the end of the wind-
ing procedure, you will be able to feel the force increasing
appreciably. Do not force as it is the sign that it is fully
wound.
