LAURENT FERRIER LF116.01 Calibre Smart Watch
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A brand-new caliber:
Launched in 2020, the exclusive LAURENT FERRIER caliber LF116.01 is entirely
developed, assembled and adjusted in the LAURENT FERRIER workshop. The hand-
wound Calibre LF116.01, visible via the exhibition case back, is refined to
the highest order. The movement is equipped with a free-sprung balance and a
Breguet overcoil. This latter combination enhances precision, mitigates
positional errors, and improves isochronism. The firm’s beloved long-blade
ratchet system is another highlight of this movement. This system, emblematic
of LAURENT FERRIER, offers a very pleasant feeling when the watch is wound as
well as an inimitable sound, characteristic of the most demanding timepieces.
Assuming the Origin is fully wound, it will run autonomously for 80 hours,
courtesy of its admirable power reserve.
Emphasis on the finishing :
The Calibre LF116.01 encompasses the high-end finishing found on every other
LAURENT FERRIER creation. The bridges are decorated with a softly-spoken micro
blasted, black rhodium finish and hand-polished edges. Each screw-head is
mirror polished and the escapement bridge is gracefully adorned with a hand-
made interior angle, consistent with Maison’s fastidious attention to detail.
Your timepiece is equipped with a manual-winding caliber and has an 80-hour
power reserve. Special attention has been devoted to the winding system, which
is equipped with a win-ding-mechanism pull-out piece lever and a ball-shaped
winding crown ensuring smoother handling.
Crown
- Position 1: normal running and manual-winding position.
- Position 2: position for correcting the hours and minutes.
Please wind your timepiece and then set the hours and minutes. Push the crown back into position 1 after each time-setting operation.
TIPS ON USE AND MAINTENANCE
Your LAURENT FERRIER timepiece is a sophisticated precision instrument
operating permanently and under a wide range of conditions. Like any high-
precision instrument, it requires regular maintenance, as well as particular
attention in terms of its use.
Maintenance :
Given the complexity of LAURENT FERRIER movements and to ensure correct
application of the warranty, any handling of the watch must be undertaken
exclusively by the LAURENT FERRIER workshop. We thereby request that you send
your watch to LAURENT FERRIER SA or contact aftersales@laurentferrier.ch.
It is difficult to determine the exact
frequency of maintenance services, since it depends on the model, the climate,
as well as the conditions of use. Nonetheless, LAURENT FERRIER recommends a
complete overhaul of its models about every four to five years. LAURENT
FERRIER offers two main types of maintenance service
Standard maintenance service
The frequency of this operation largely depends on the use of your watch in
aquatic surroundings (see the chapter on Water-Resistance). It comprises :
- Cleaning and lubricating the escapement and the balance ;
- Checking the movement operating parameters and the watch functions ;
- Cleaning the case ;
- Replacing all joints, water-resistance test.
Complete overhaul :
Overhaul to be made every 5 years for a well-timed timepiece. It comprises
- Movement overhaul ;
- Taking apart and cleaning components, replacing worn parts ;
- Assembling, lubricating, adjusting and rating ;
- Refurbishing the case ;
- Replacing all joints, water-resistance test.
Water-resistance
Currently, all LAURENT FERRIER watches are designed to withstand pressure
corresponding to a depth of 30 metres. While it is possible to swim with a
water-resistant watch, it nonetheless must not be used for jumping off a
diving board or for water sports involving significant risks of impacts. In
case of intensive aquatic use, we recommend having the water-resistance of
your watch tested once a year. In case of occasional use in such situations,
this operation should be performed every two years.
Leather straps :
The leather strap of your LAURENT FERRIER watch is crafted from the most
refined materials and represents a high-quality product. In order to preserve
your strap from premature ageing, we recommend that you comply with the
following instructions :
- Avoid prolonged exposure to sunshine so as to avoid your strap fading;
- Leather straps are not suited to aquatic activities. We thus recommend avoiding contact with water and damp so as to prevent them from becoming distorted or discoloured
- Leather is permeable by nature, so avoid contact with oily subtances or cosmetics.
A leather strap lasts an estimated 12 months, although this varies according to the user’s lifestyle. If you encounter a problem with your leather strap, contact your nearest LAURENT FERRIER retailer.
Special recommendations :
What should I do to ensure that my LAURENT FERRIER watch continues to serve me
well for many years to come ?
- Avoid impacts and crushing ;
- Avoid placing your watch on loudspeakers or refrigerators, since they generate powerful magnetic fields ;
- For water-resistant watches, after each immersion in salt water, it is advisable to rinse the case carefully in warm water ;
- In order to preserve the radiance of your water-resistant watch, we recommend using a toothbrush soaked in soapy water and then rincing carefully in fresh water ;
- Always push the crown carefully back against the side of the case so as not to compromise the water-resistance of the watch ;
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures or to sudden changes in temperature ;
- For a well-timed timepiece, please wind it on a regular basis.
