Care For Your Tourbillon Watch

To maximize the enjoyment of your toubillon watch, care should be taken to avoid moisture, dust, and shock. Normally, all you need to do is clean the watch with a soft cloth. On gold plated models, clean with a soft cloth dampened with warm water.
Precision-Made Parts
Your toubillon watch has precision-made parts with tolerances of up to 1/1000 mm. A small particle of dust is enough to stop the timepiece from functioning properly. Dust can enter the watch if the case or crown is not intact. If you do not wear your watch for a prolonged period of time, store it in its original box in a dry place.
Never open the watch yourself,especially when you have a Rolex replica,Porsche Design replica,Richard Mille replica,Zenith replica,Hublot replica and Ferrari replica watches.Doing so could allow dust and moisture to enter the watch case or could cause damage to the gaskets, the movement, or the case.
Water Resistance
Your toubillon watch is tested to meet toubillon 's quality standards. Water resistance is achieved by installing seals between the major parts of the watch case. Your watch is fitted with a series of gaskets and a specially designed crown which together seal the watch and prevent moisture from entering the case.
Shock-Resistant
All toubillon timepieces have shock-resistant movements tested to meet TOUROUS quality standards. As a precaution, care should be taken to avoid wearing your watch while engaging in rough sports to prevent possible damage.
Sapphire Crystals
Your watch is equipped with two sapphire crystals. The procedure for manufacturing sapphire crystals is very complicated and precise. The hardness is about HV 2200 degrees, making it scratch resistant and virtually indestructible. Although the sapphire crystal is scratch resistant, care should be taken to avoid dropping or hitting the watch on a hard surface.
Magnetic Fields
The exposure of your watch to strong magnetic fields will affect its timekeeping accuracy and may cause it to stop all together. Therefore, care should be taken to avoid subjecting your watch to strong magnetic fields.
Leather Straps
The genuine leather straps on your watch are handmade. The leather skins used are specifically selected to match the beauty of each TOUROUS watch. Leather needs care. Care should be taken to avoid exposing your straps to water or high humidity to avoid the straps from becoming brittle.
The life span of the straps depend on your care and wearing habits as well as the climate in which you live.
Winding and Time Setting
With the crown in, turn the crown clock wise all the way until strong tension is felt.
Pull the crown all the way out.
Adjust the time by turning the crown so that the hands move in a clock-wise fashion.
Then push back the crown all the way in.
Note: In winding the watch, the barrel click allows for some degree of unwinding. This is by design of the tourbillon watch to keep the mainspring from being held too tightly when being wound.
"Running In" Your toubillon Watch
The first thing you should do after acquiring a toubillon timepiece is to "run the watch in" by wearing it everyday. Mechanical watches(Breitling replica,U-Boat replica,Bell&Ross replica,Patek Philippe replica and Omega replicas.) need to run for a certain time until they become stable.
Hellorolex.com "runs in" its watches under controlled conditions at the production stage, checks the rate of the movement using a timing machine, and observes its behavior over a certain period of time, and if necessary, adjusts the rate. This usually takes place at room temperature and with simulated sequences of movements. On the wearer's wrist, however, conditions may be completely different, which would result in a different rate from the one recorded during the test at the production stage.
Rate Tolerances of Your Toubillon Watch
Before a toubillon timepiece leaves the factory, the movement is tested in five different positions:
Dial Up
Dial Down
Crown Up
Crown Down
Crown Left
Crown Right
The movement is adjusted in each of these positions to an average rate of between 0 and +14 seconds per day. In otherwords, a toubillon timepiece must never be slow but may be fast by up to 14 seconds per day. The average daily tolerances for chronometer rates are between -4 and +6 seconds. This means that even a watch that loses up to 4 seconds a day can still be called a chronometer.
The rate is also affected by the owner's lifestyle. The mechanical movement will react differently when the wearer has an extremely active lifestyle from the way it would with a comparatively inactive person. However, any deviation from the tolerances mentioned above is not so much a question of function as of adjustment and wearing habits. Note: Due to the very nature and complexity of the tourbillon movement, the rate will never be as precise as a quartz watch but may approach that of a chronometer watch.
