Music was such an important part of life in the Baroque era that it can be found in all kinds of places. This instrument, the Trompe Dauphine, is a kind of hunting horn and would have been carried on horseback during the hunt and used to play signals to let the rest of the hunt know what was happening.
As a general rule: 1  Quartz models should be given a routine service every other time the battery is changed. 2  Regular mechanical models should need routine service only every 5 years or so. 3  OMEGA states that their Coaxial models should need routine service only every 10 years.
A general rule of thumb is that a freshly serviced watch should be good for five to seven years, depending on... well, a lot of things, including the watch, the owner and the last person to work on it. If your Speedmasterâs new, it may need a service on the nearer end of the scale depending on how long it was sitting idle at the stockist. If vintage/pre-owned and you donât know the service history for sure â and I mean for sure â itâs best to assume youâll need a service sooner rather than later.
