Recommendations And Care - Baume And Mercier Clifton Series Instruction Manual

IV. RECOMMENDATIONS AND CARE
Your Baume & Mercier watch was both designed and
manufactured with great care. It contains a great number
of very delicate components, which is why we encourage
you to be careful, avoid any impact to the watch, avoid
any erroneous adjustments, and protect it from impact and
extreme temperature variations.
Furthermore, a watch is something rare in that it works
continuously, 24 hours a day. For optimal reliability and
for the longevity of your watch, we recommend having your
watch serviced every 3 to 5 years.
BAUME & MERCIER AUTHORIZED AFTER-
SALES SERVICE CENTERS
Baume & Mercier watches are maintained by an international
network of After-Sales Service Centers which meet the
highest quality requirements of Swiss watchmaking.
Approved through a demanding selection process, only a
Baume & Mercier authorized retailer or After-Sales Service
Center is authorized to perform service on your watch.
These centers undergo regular training provided by the
brand, thus guaranteeing an irreproachable service quality
by using specially-designed tools meant for repairing
Baume & Mercier watches and by replacing worn parts with
original components. Furthermore, tests are conducted using
up-to-date and reliable quality controls.
Any repair work not carried out by a Baume & Mercier
authorized retailer or After-Sales Service Center will not be

covered by the Baume & Mercier warranty. Also excluded
from warranty coverage are watches not containing original
Baume & Mercier parts.
Furthermore, to safeguard your watch, please read the
following recommendations for use and care:
MECHANICAL WATCH MAINTENANCE
In the event that your watch will not be worn for several
months, we recommend you wind your mechanical watch
regularly so that the oils do not seize, thus disrupting proper
functioning of the movement.
WATER-RESISTANCE
Baume & Mercier watches are water-resistant up to at least
30 meters. If a model's water-resistance goes beyond 30
meters, the depth is indicated on the back of the case.
When a watch is water-resistant its movement is protected
from dust, humidity and any risk of damage caused by
immersion.
The water-resistance of a watch comes from its joints.
Because these joints are exposed to different types of
ex ternal stress (cosmetics, perspiration, temperature
changes), your watch may become less water-resistant with
time. As a consequence, we recommend you have your watch
checked every 12 to 24 months to guarantee it remains fully
water-resistant.
