GMTeik Gold & Green

Every watch is built to order, so nothing ships off a shelf. Yours goes on the bench after you order and is assembled, cased, regulated and timed before it is packed.

Dispatch is normally ten to fifteen working days from the order. The window shown under the Add to cart button is worked out from today's date and moves on its own.

Your order is handled by Lauremonté in Sweden

An automatic watch is driven by a mainspring rather than a battery. A weighted rotor inside the case turns as your wrist moves, winding that spring, and the spring drives the gear train that carries the hands.

Worn regularly, it keeps itself wound. Left off the wrist it winds down and stops; the power reserve listed under Components and materials is how long it runs unworn. To start it again, turn the crown a few times, set the time, and put it on.

It is a mechanical instrument rather than a quartz one, and it is not meant to be judged like one. A few seconds a day either way is normal for a movement of this kind and is not a fault: how much you have worn it, the temperature, and the position it rests in overnight all move the rate.

Every Lauremonté is regulated by hand on the bench and timed before it is packed.

Keep it away from strong magnets. Laptop lids, speaker cabinets, magnetic phone mounts and bag clasps are the usual culprits; a magnetised watch suddenly runs fast. It is a quick fix, but it is easier not to.

Never operate the crown underwater, and check it is screwed all the way down before the watch gets wet.

Rinse it in fresh water after the sea or a chlorinated pool, then dry it. Salt left in the bracelet and around the bezel is what starts corrosion.
