Welcome to Inner Worlds
Inner Worlds is a five-watch collection drawn from the planets closest to us: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and the Moon. Each piece is conceived as the custody of a cosmic idea, a small world you carry on the wrist. This manual covers the everyday operation and care of your watch: winding, setting the time and date, and looking after the movement over the years ahead.
Setting the Date and Time
Winding the Watch
Maintainance
Storage
When not being worn, store the watch in a flat position away from direct sunlight, moisture and other jewellery that could scratch the case or crystal.
Power Reserve
Fully wound, your watch will run for approximately 42 hours without being worn or wound further. If it has been left unworn for longer than this, be sure to manually wind your watch and reset the time before wearing.
Water Resistance
Your watch is rated to 100m (10 atm). This covers everyday conditions such as rain, hand washing and swimming, but not diving or high-pressure water activities. To ensure your timepiece remains watertight:
- Always ensure the crown is screwed fully before any exposure to water.
- Never operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Avoid hot water, including showers and hot tubs – high temperatures can degrade the case seals over time.
- Have the case seals checked at each service as they can lose elasticity with age, regardless of use.
Because the crown is a screw-down design, it must be fully screwed down to seal the case. Always confirm it is tightened before contact with water.
Dial Care
The dial on your Inner Worlds watch is protected behind sapphire crystal in a sealed case, so normal daily wear will not affect it.
- Clean the crystal and case with a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
- Avoid solvents, alcohol wipes, or household cleaning chemicals on the dial or case.
- If the watch is not worn for extended periods, store it somewhere dry rather than a damp bathroom cabinet.
General Movement Care
- Keep your Inner Worlds away from sources of strong magnetic fields, including laptop speakers, induction chargers and phone cases with magnetic clasps.
- Remove the watch before high-impact activities. Strong knocks can jar the movement, which may affect timekeeping accuracy and/or damage the balance.
- Avoid extended exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, as they can negatively impact lubricant and lume performance over time.
- Have the movement serviced every five years. This should include lubrication renewal, a timekeeping check and case seal refreshment/replacement to ensure your watch will run accurately until its next service.
Warranty and Support
Your watch is covered by a 24-month warranty against manufacturing defects. This does not cover regular wear and tear or damage caused by misuse or accident.
