Seven Sins in handling a Lange watch...

From A. Lange & Soehne, A. Lange & Soehne recommends that you do not do the following to an A. Lange & Soehne wristwatch.  Most of them are obvious, but all of them are serious offenses. 

1.  Swimming with a watch that doesn't receive regular maintenance. 

2.  Wearing metal chains and bracelets and a Lange watch on the same wrist. 

3.  Hammering, golfing, mountainbiking and whatever else will keep shocking the watch.  Over time, the shocks will influence a watch's precision. 

4.  Leaving the watch on the dashboard in summertime.  Quick changes between extreme temperatures put strain on the lubricants, thus influencing the precision of the moment.

5.  Handing a Lange watch in for maintenance service with an unauthorized retailer licensee.  Much damage is caused by improper repairs. 

6.  Correcting the outsize date between midnight and 2 a.m. 

7.  Not setting back the crown by a half revolution after winding the watch. 

I personally follow all of the rules, except on some rare occassions, I am not supremely confident that I fulfilled action # 7.  This is why I posted these rules, so hopefully other A. Lange & Soehnes are not suffering mistreatment.
