Product Information

We want to offer you a diverse range of products. That's why we use different movements with different functions depending on the collection. To get the most out of your watch, it is best to read the operating instructions carefully before using it for the first time. You can find the operating instructions for your model HERE. Alternatively, you can also find the operating instructions directly on the respective product page. Simply use the search function to find the product page for your model.

A chronograph has an integrated stop function that can be operated using the pushers on the watch. You can find the exact operating instructions for your model HERE. Alternatively, you can also find the operating instructions directly on the respective product page. Simply use the search function to find the product page for your model.

Automatic watches run without a battery and are wound automatically by the wearer's arm movement after the first winding. When our automatic watches are fully wound, they run for an average of approx. 48 hours, even when not in motion. If the watch is not worn for a longer period of time, it must first be wound again (30 - 50 turns of the crown clockwise). The time and other parameters such as date, day of the week, etc. must then be reset. You can find the exact operating instructions for your model HERE. Alternatively, you can also find the operating instructions directly on the respective product page. Simply use the search function to find the product page for your model.

LOUIS XVI watches are tested for water resistance up to 5 bar, which corresponds to the pressure of an assumed water column of 50 meters. This makes it suitable for everyday use, such as bathing, showering or washing hands.

The water resistance of a watch can deteriorate over time, for example as a result of ageing seals or accidental knocks against one of the components responsible for water resistance, such as the crown, pushers or watch glass. We recommend that you have the water resistance of your watch checked once a year.

All LOUIS XVI watches are made from 316L stainless steel, which is also used in the manufacture of surgical instruments and is extremely durable and never rusts.

This extremely high-quality 316L stainless steel also contains a small amount of nickel. However, the 316L stainless steel alloy limits the release of nickel. The nickel particles are trapped in the alloy and therefore remain firmly bound to the other components.

The fact that nickel is not released makes 316L stainless steel an anti-allergenic metal that does not irritate the skin. This means that watches made from 316L stainless steel can even be worn by people with a nickel allergy.

Size & Bracelet Adjustment

Our watch cases are available in a range of sizes, so you can choose the model that best suits your wrist and personal style.

The exact case dimensions for each watch can be found on the respective product page.

Depending on the model, our metal bracelets can be adjusted either continuously or by removing individual links.

For watches with a link bracelet, a bracelet adjustment tool is included. You can also watch our short instruction video to see how to shorten a metal watch bracelet correctly.
