Please be very careful to never touch the movement of
T-Rex either on the front, on the sides or on the back of the
movement, except the time adjustment and the winding
tips that can be touched with the winding key.
Furthermore, the movement should never be in contact
with any liquids – even in vaporized form. If this 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 so always wear
gloves when manipulating the clock or wipe out the
ngerprints.
On the following picture, the only parts which can be
cleaned and touched with precautions are those outside of
the zone colored in red; in case of intrusions, a service will
be needed.

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. It is
recommended to keep the clock distant from any source of
heat or vibrations. To preserve the longevity and function-
ality of T-Rex, 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 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 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 ne 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
depending on the surrounding environmental conditions.
It is recommended not to hold T-Rex only by one “leg”, or
by the top parts, but only by its two legs together. DO
NOT HOLD THE CLOCK BY ONE LEG ONLY

Insert the key at the back of the piece, on the axis of the
barrel.
The movement should be fully wound every 8 days. Be
sure to wind up the spring completely. Wind T-Rex until
you feel that the necessary force increases signicantly; do
not wind further as this is the sign that the movement is
fully wound.
