III. QUARTZ WATCHES
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
A quartz watch is powered by a battery which generally lasts
between 2 to 6 years depending on the model.
The majority of our quartz watches, having a central seconds
hand, come equipped with a system to indicate a low battery
(EOL – End of Life). Approximately two weeks before the
battery will stop, the central seconds hand will begin to jump
every four seconds as a signal to the wearer that the battery
must be changed.
Batteries must be changed by an authorized Baume & Mercier
retailer or After-Sales Service Center to insure that the
battery and any other maintenance meet Baume & Mercier's
standards. Respecting this requirement is imperative in
connection with the International Guarantee.
COLLECTION AND TREATMENT OF END OF
LIFE QUARTZ WATCHES*
Quartz watches contain a battery as well as
other electronic components. When your watch
is serviced, your authorized Baume & Mercier
retailer or A fter-Sales Service Center will
take care of storing and disposing of these
components in compliance with current laws.
This symbol indicates that this product should
not be disposed with household waste. It has
to be returned to a local authorized collection
system. By following this procedure you will contribute
to the protection of the environment and human health.
The recycling of the materials will help to conserve natural
resources.
*Valid in EU member states and in any countries with
corresponding legislation.
Note: Since 2011, all batteries used in Baume & Mercier
watches are mercury-free.
PRECISION OF A QUARTZ WATCH
Quartz watches are extremely precise. This is due to the high
frequency of their vibrations (32 kHz). Their precision (fast
or slow) deviates by approximately 1 minute per year.
