A very special service:

FELDO watches are subjected to strict measures of control as far as quality and functionality are concerned. These watches will be with you for many years as an impeccable functional piece of jewelry. 

If, by chance, a defect appears, you can resort to FELDO's special service by returning to the place where it was purchased or by contacting FELDO directly. 

     - They would be responsible for sending the watch back for repair and for returning it to you once it has been fixed.

     - Without any additional cost and anywhere in the world. 

Naturally, during the period of guarantee, the repair would take place without any additional cost to you. Outside that period, and depending on the defect, you would receive a repair cost estimate. The special service of collecting and returning the watch, would still be without cost to you outside of the period of guarantee. Therefore there is nothing to worry about. 

Overhauling the watches: 

The manufacture of watches must meet specific measurements to within a thousandth of a millimeter. It is inevitable that such a mechanism is subject to a certain amount of deterioration over time. All the watches, as much mechanical models as automatic ones, will therefore require inspection every four to five years, to verify the accuracy of the internal components, to clean the watch and possibly to adjust the mechanism. Depending on the retailer, this overhaul could be done by their watchmaker. 

The watchmaker can request sketches of the watch to assist with the overhaul, allowing them to manipulate the watch accurately. If they require a spare part, they can request them directly from FELDO. Doing an overhaul regularly ensures the watch retains its value and that it will continue to be enjoyed by future generations. All our watches appear in the web pages of FELDO International: Montres de luxe, Timepieces, Luxusuhren, Relojes de lujo, Relojes de pulsera, Orologi di lusso, Relojes, Luxury watches, Armbanduhren, Relojes de diseño, FELDO news, Luxury goods, Designeruhren, Luxusuhr, Designeruhr, Wrist watches, Designer watches for men, Gemelos para camisa, Cufflinks, Wrist watches, Watches, Boutons de Manchette, Gemelli per camicia and Relojes de caballero, are manufactured to meet the highest standards of quality.

Extras:

FELDO watches essentially seduce by their extraordinary design and extra secure technology. Many watch manufacturers put the mechanism of the watch first.  Often the most important characteristics are new complications in design or at least ones that are established but improved upon.  

With FELDO, our watches are designed using good technical mechanisms, attention is centered unequivocally on a different technical presentation, as nowadays even watches serve firstly to tell the time and secondly as a piece of jewelry. 

Jewelry was very fashionable a thousand years ago and even today most people wear at least one piece of jewelry. The term jewel also refers to semi-precious stones which are often used to adorn more precious materials. Nowadays, jewels are used to embellish the appearance of an item.  In the past, however, aside from being of high material value, a jewel also had magical and even erotic value.  

Heads of families were normally adorned with the most expensive pieces of jewelry giving off an air of inaccessibility. Even today jewelry is used to show social status or to guarantee financial security. However, for most people a jewel is simply the most beautiful thing in the world. 

Let us return to the repercussions of watches. Each suit at night becomes magnificent with an appropriate watch is being worn. These watches are always rare. Designers produce the most unusual forms. The mechanism of the watch is its skeleton, the colours, the diverse forms and measurements are created and combined with diverse materials. In this way, a watch can be made to specifically suit each client.

Protection of the design: 

In each FELDO watch, we can always find, aside from its functionality, an original design or a special technical extra. These properties are protected by a patent once a new design has been created. This right of protection is granted by a Swiss institution and it's governed according to a European or a world-wide model. This reiterates the uniqueness and particularity of the watch and certifies its title as being an exclusive piece. 

The ABCs of a watch:

Anchor escapement

This ensures that the pendulum maintains a swing between 4¼-6¼, ensuring the pendulum remains accurate. 

Automatic watches

An automatic or self-winding watch is a mechanical watch, whose mainspring is wound automatically by the natural motion of the wearer's arm, to make it unnecessary to manually wind the watch. Most mechanical watches sold today are self-winding.

Bayonet clasp

A combination that fastens two pieces together by way of allowing one piece to slide and lock against the other.

Determination of time

A second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom.

Quartz watches

A quartz watch uses an electronic oscillator that is regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. This crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz clocks are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than good mechanical clocks.

Time

The measurement of time is so critical to the functioning of modern societies that it is coordinated at an international level. The basis for scientific time is a continuous count of seconds based on atomic clocks around the world, known as the International Atomic Time (TAI). This is the yardstick for other time scales, including Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is the basis for civil time. 

Time keeping

This indicates the general accuracy of a watch and can be determined over 24 hour periods at how well it keep time.  All types of watches and watch movements have different time keeping abilities according to the technology being used. 

Tourbillon (or whirlwind)

A Tourbillon is a watch in which the entire escapement assembly rotates.
