HISTORY & LORE

All vintage mechanical watches require careful handling. Please keep the following recommendations in mind:

• Vintage mechanical watches should not be dropped or subjected to shocks to protect the balance staff.
• Vintage watches are generally NOT waterproof. Protect your timepiece from direct contact with water, heavy rain, or high humidity.
• Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. Stop winding as soon as you feel natural resistance.
• When adjusting the hands, move them in a clockwise direction only.
• Every 2-3 years it is recommended to service, clean, and oil vintage watches to keep them running accurately.
• Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, modern electronics, magnets).
• Mechanical watches naturally experience a daily deviation error; accuracy is not guaranteed due to age.
