You have just adopted your new clock from the collection « La Tour »,
one of the most advanced timepieces of L’Epée 1839.
La Tour Collection has been developed with passion and care by our
master watchmakers in Delémont – Switzerland.
CONGRATULATIONS

BE CAREFUL
Please, be very careful to never touch the movement of “La Tour”
either on the front, the back or the sides of the movement, except
when winding up the clock with the appropriate L’Epée 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.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Use only a soft and dry cloth to clean the outside parts of 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. Do not permanently expose the clock to direct sun light, never
place the clock in a humid or dusty place.
Our clocks are developed to ensure optimal accuracy and reliability. It is
well accepted for a fine 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 L’Épée 1989 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 fine oils for the lubrication of the movement. They are deteriorating with the time. We therefore advise to
have the movement overhauled every five years. Never try to clean the
movement or the hands.
NEVER FORCE ON THE WIND UP IF IT IS BLOCKED, THEN IT IS FULLY WOUND UP.

MINERAL GLASS DOME
The movement of La Tour needs
to be protected from dust, humidity and human intrusions,
which could cause damages
and delays. La Tour comes
with its own transparent dome,
fitting over the top of the movement. Be careful to always take
off the dome from the base and
then clean the glass with a soft
and dry cloth. Fingerprints will
also damage the coating.
PROTECTION OF THE CLOCK

Put the clock on a flat surface,
remove the glass cabinet and
wind up (see A on the picture
below) with the larger diameter
end of the key. The movement
has to be fully wound every
eight days. Be sure to wind the
spring completely, but without
forcing it.
