Montres Allison "Running In" Recommendations

The first thing you should do after acquiring a Montres Allison timepiece is "run the watch in" by wearing it every day. If necessary, the watch should be readjusted after the running-in period. Mechanical watches need to run for a certain time until they become stable.

Montres Allison "runs in" it's watches under controlled conditions at the production stage and checks the rate of the movement using a timing machine and by observing its behavior over a certain period of time. This usually takes place at room temperature and with simulated sequences of movements. On the wearer's wrist, however, conditions may be completely different, which would result in a different rate from the one recorded during the test at the production stage.

Keep an eye on the deviations and note how fast or slow the watch is every day. Use a variation of the following form:

 

Date		Deviation at 8.15 pm		Note
1 July		0 seconds		watch set at 10:00 a.m.
2 July		+ 8 seconds
3 July		+ 16 seconds

Your authorized service center will then reset your watch on the basis of the information you provide. In this case, they would set your watch to go about 6 - 8 seconds slower per day.

Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to repeat this step, but in the end your watch will be perfectly set to your personal lifestyle.
