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 clean the clock, the 
glass dome or the tentacles. It is recommended to keep 
the clock distant from any source of heat or vibrations. To 
preserve the longevity and functionality of Medusa, 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 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 authorised dealer who will 
advise you, or a L’Epée 1839 technical support centre 
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 3 to 5 years. Be aware 
that the optimal period between servicing times can vary 
depending on the surrounding environmental conditions.

It is recommended to hold Medusa by the glass dome or 
underneath (see the blue parts highlighted on the 
diagram).
