Important Notes
This mechanical pocket watch requires regular manual winding—typically once per day—to maintain accurate timekeeping. It does not use batteries, relying instead on the energy stored in the mainspring. To preserve its internal components, avoid exposure to water, extreme temperatures, or strong magnetic fields. The luminous effect is activated by light exposure and may gradually diminish over time with frequent use. For warranty details, customers should refer to the link provided on the product page.
