[Regarding maintenance]
This is a clock made over 50 years ago. . .
. . .
However, unlike mass-produced watches like today's watches, there is a great deal of human intervention involved. . .
. . .
If a mechanical watch is properly maintained, it can continue to be used as long as the parts are available. . .
. . .
While the current quartz watches have been around for about 10 years, some people are still using mechanical watches from 100 years ago. . .
. . .
However, it goes without saying that some parts of antique watches may not be original and may have been replaced. . .
. . .
Therefore, it is difficult for the manufacturer to repair it. . .
. . .
We recommend that you have your watch maintained at your local antique watch store. . .
. . .
(If you can't find it, we can introduce you to skilled craftsmen in Tokyo)
