Please, be very careful to never touch the movement in the
centre of Destination Moon either on the front, on the
sides or on the back. It is not recommended to hold
Destination Moon only by the top.
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.
On the following picture, the only parts which can be
cleaned and touched 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 functionality of Destination Moon, 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 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 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 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.

To wind the movement, turn the propulsion wheel at the
base of the rocket (A) anti-clockwise.
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 signicantly; do not wind further as this is the sign
that the movement is fully wound.

Destination Moon comes with a miniature gurine of an
astronaut “Neil”, crafted in silver and stainless steel.
The astronaut Neil has a magnet on his chest (see the picture below) which allows to x him wherever you want on
the central ladder of Destination Moon.
Be careful not to x Neil near the movement plates, as the
magnet could damage the clock and its proper
functioning.
