TIMEPIECE CARE AND PRECAUTIONS
Each MICHELE timepiece is designed and manufactured to exceed the highest of
standards. Unlike most other mechanical objects, a watch operates non-stop. In order
to ensure optimal performance and longevity from your timepiece, please review the
simple guidelines for care and precautions of your new MICHELE timepiece.
WATCH CASE AND MOVEMENT CARE
Your timepiece should be cleaned with a soft cloth and water only. Do not submerge
your timepiece. To ensure long use and trouble-free operation, we recommend
servicing your timepiece every 18-24 months.
Ceramic Components
Ceramic is of high quality and is naturally porous and brittle, making it a luxurious
material that should be handled with care. To maintain its lustrous appearance, please
buff with a soft cloth. If necessary, wipe clean with a damp cloth using mild soap
and water. Avoid dropping or making contact with hard surfaces. When mishandled,
ceramic may chip or break.
Precautions
Your timepiece is a complex integration of parts and components brought together
by skilled craftsmen. There are certain actions or environmental situations that may
damage or impede your timepiece’s ability to perform optimally.
It is important to avoid the following conditions: extreme heat or cold, as well as
prolonged periods of exposure to direct sunlight, exposure to wet conditions that
exceed your timepiece’s water rating (see case back and chart.) Never operate any of
the function buttons or crown when timepiece is in contact with water.
