It is not recommended to hold Octopod only by one leg –
this can lead to damage.
Fingerprints will also damage the coating so always wear
gloves when manipulating the clock or wipe out the finger-
print. 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 Octopod, do not permanently expose the clock to
direct sunlight, a blower, or 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 big-
ger 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 fine oils for the lubrication of the movement.
These oils deteriorate over the years. We therefore advise
having the movement serviced every 5 years. Be aware that
the optimal period between servicing times can vary
depending on the surrounding environmental conditions.
