TIPS ON USE AND MAINTENANCE
Your LAURENT FERRIER timepiece is a sophisticated precision instrument that operates continually in a wide
range of conditions. Like any high-precision instrument, it requires regular maintenance and particularly careful
use.
Maintenance:
Given the complexity of LAURENT FERRIER movements and to maintain the validity of your guarantee, any
operations on your watch must be exclusively undertaken by the LAURENT FERRIER Workshop. Please therefore
send your watch to LAURENT FERRIER SA or contact aftersales@laurentferrier.ch.
It is difficult to determine the exact frequency of maintenance services required, as this depends on the model,
the climate and the conditions of use.
Nonetheless, LAURENT FERRIER recommends a complete overhaul of its models every four to five years.
LAURENT FERRIER offers two main types of maintenance service:
Standard maintenance service:
The frequency of this service largely depends on how often you use your watch in an aquatic environment (see
the chapter on Water-resistance). It comprises:
• Cleaning and lubricating the escapement and the balance;
• Checking the movement operating parameters and the functions of the watch;
• Cleaning the case;
• Replacing all the seals and checking water-resistance.
Complete overhaul:
Overhaul to be done every five years to ensure that your timepiece continues to operate correctly. It comprises:
• Overhauling the movement;
• Disassembling and cleaning components and replacing worn components;
• Assembling, lubricating and adjusting;
• Refurbishing the case;
• Replacing all the seals and checking water-resistance.
Water-resistance:
LAURENT FERRIER Sport Auto watches are currently tested to withstand the pressure at a depth of 120 metres.
While a water-resistant watch can be worn while swimming, it must not be used when jumping from a diving
board or during water sports, when there is a high risk of impacts. If used extensively in an aquatic environment,
we recommend that you have the water-resistance of your watch checked once a year. In the event of occasional
use, this service should be performed every two years.
Special recommendations:
What should I do to ensure my LAURENT FERRIER watch continues to serve me well for many years?
• Avoid impacts, vibrations and crushing;
• Refrain from placing your watch on loudspeakers or refrigerators, as they generate powerful magnetic fields;
• Thoroughly rinse the titanium case and bracelet in warm water every time your watch is immersed in seawater;
• To keep your water-resistant watch looking its best, we recommend cleaning it with a toothbrush soaked in
soapy water and then rinsing it thoroughly with clear water;
• Make sure the crown is screwed back down against the side of the case to avoid compromising the watch’s
water-resistance;
• Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures or to sudden changes in temperature.
