Présentation

Olivier Randin est  Suisse, né le 12 juin 1971. Il devient lausannois de coeur.

Depuis son enfance, il se passionne pour la fine mécanique. Ainsi sa chambre ressemble à un atelier. A l’âge de quatorze ans son père lui offre un tour mécanique miniature. Cette première machine lui permet d’usiner et de percer toutes les matières et de cheminer vers des créations les plus inattendues.

Dans les années 90, il debute sa carrière horlogère à Bâle. Le monde du mouvement et de la montre lui ouvrent ses portes. S’ensuit des emplois chez les plus grands horlogers comme Frank Muller, Roger Dubuis, Panerai, Piaget, Cartier, Rolex, Festina Groupe et Breva Watch qui lui apporteront une connaissance et un savoir faire sans égal.

L’horlogerie Lausannoise, en Suisse, trouve ses origines vers 1850. Un vaste reseau de production se met en place, des ateliers se crées partout et Lausanne travaille à devenir une capitale.

Lausanne était la ville de la montre par excellence. Pour cette raison j’ai souhaité refaire vivre cette industrie.

Et l’an 2000 marque la naissance des montres “Olivier Randin Lausanne”. Une première petite manufacture est créée à Lausanne. L’aventure est lancée ! Depuis de nombreuses personnalités on profité de la fine mecanique de Lausanne, comme Usain Bolt, Sa Majesté le Roi Bhumibol, Roi de Thailande, Madame Sommaruga,  Présidente de la Suisse, Monsieur François Hollande,  Président de la France.

MOT D’OLIVIER RANDIN
Pour rester toujours à l’avant garde, et mettre le client au centre de nos préocuppations, j’ai decidé que tous les budgets marketings, de promotions et de partenariats seront réinvestits directement dans les composants et la montre elle-même, afin de proposer aux clients un rapport qualité / prix encore jamais égalé dans l'horlogerie ! Vous aurez le plaisir de vous offrir les meilleures montres  mecaniques au monde au meilleur prix !

INSTRUCTIONS

Winding crown

The winding crown is used to wind the watch (position 1), to set the date (position 2) and to set the time (position 3).

Winding

Your watch incorporates a self-winding movement. The movements of your wrist set a centrifugal mass in motion : this tensions the mainspring which stores the energy. When you take off your fully wound watch, it will continue to run for at least 48 hours. When it has stopped after depleting the power reserve, it can be rewound by hand with about 10 clockwise turns of the crown. Please wind the watch before you put it on. This way, you can avoid lateral pressure on the winding stem which in the course of the years could damage the stem tube

Setting the time

Gently pull the crown out and move the hands clockwise or counterclockwise until they indicate the current time.

Caution : Take the watch off to set the time. This prevents lateral pressure on the winding stem tube. Please use your fingernails to pull the crown out and turn it gently between two fingertips.

Never pull out the crown in a humid environment or under- water. The water resistance of your watch is assured only when the crown is pushed home.

Setting the date

Gently pull the crown out in intermediate position and set the date with the crown clockwise.

Caution : The date correction is not recommended between 22h00 and 02h00.

Take the watch off to set the date. This prevents lateral pressure on the winding stem tube. Please use your fingernails to pull the crown out and turn it gently between two fingertips.

Chronograph

The chronograph is started and stopped by consecutively pressing the button at 2 o’clock. The chronograph is reset to zero when the hand is stopped with the button at 4 o’clock. Conversely, if the chronograph hand is first stopped with the button at 2 o’clock, the actuation of the button at 4 o’clock will cause the hand to return to zero and stay there until a new measurement is activated by hand. To reset the chronograph hand, make sure you press the button at 4 o’clock firmly and squarely in the middle.

Pulsometer

Medical heart rate measurements are expressed as the number of pulses per minute. To accelerate such measurements without having to wait for an entire minute while counting, the Multi-Scale Chronograph has a pulsimeter scale calibrated to 15 heartbeats. Thanks to this scale, the heart rate per minute is displayed after the 15th pulse has been counted. During their daily rounds in the wards, physicians typically had to take the pulse of over a hundred patients. A pulsimeter watch saved them more than an hour a day.

Tachymeter

The tachymeter has a scale calibrated to 1 kilometer. It is used to measure speeds and delivers results in kilometers or miles per hour. Because speed is expressed as units of distance per unit of time, it is necessarily dependent on the measurement of time. Therefore, a chrono- graph with a logarithmic tachymeter scale can display speeds. It measures the time needed to travel a known distance, and the scale shows how fast the observer was moving.

Telemeter

The telemeter scale is graduated in kilometers and converts the elapsed time between a visual event and its acoustic manifestation into the distance between the observer and the observed event. It takes into account the difference between the speed of light (300’000 km/s) and the speed of sound (333 m/s). Until the 1960s, even the military calculated distances according to this method. If it took five seconds for the observed muzzle flash to be followed by the thunder of the cannon, troops knew they were somewhat farther than one and a half kilometers away from the gun emplacement : 333 m/s × 5 s = 1665 meter.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR WATCH

Certificate of origin

Yourwatch Olivier Randin Lausanne is delivered with a certificate of origin. The certificate need to be signed and dated by Olivier Randin. It guarantees the authenticity of your watch and validates your international warranty privileges for a period of two years after the date of sale.

Your unique number certificate is transcribed into the archive books of the Manufacture.

Quality control

The movements and completely assembled watches are subject to a series of technical tests and visual inspections to verify their rate accuracy, winding speed, power reserve, reliability, water resistance, and overall appearance. After it was assembled, your selfwinding watch will already have run for several weeks before leaving the workshops; it fully complies with the stringent criteria of the Olivier Randin Seal.

Rate accuracy

The rate accuracy of Olivier Randin watches is verified in several phases of manufacturing, both with uncased and fully cased movements. The final test is performed with a wrist motion simulator and the results must conform to the following Olivier Randin Lausanne precision benchmarks :

The rate accuracy of calibers with a diameter of 30 millimeter or larger must range within 15 seconds per 24 hours.

The precision of a watch is determined by how accurately it keeps the time. A watch that is fast or slow is considered precise if the amount by which it is fast or slow remains constant. Such a deviation can be easily corrected. The last test of accuracy takes place on your wrist. Your temperament or the nature of your physical activities can cause slight irregularities. Fluctuations in position, temperature, or air pressure, the presence of magnetic fields (as produced by most electronic devices, metal detectors, household appliances, etc.) as well as vibrations and other factors may also affect its accuracy.

Water resistance

Your watch is fitted with different types of seals to protect the movement against the ingress of dust and moisture and to prevent damage if it is immersed in water. Nonetheless, we recommend that you prevent direct contact with water if your watch has a leather strap.

Service

We recommend that you have your watch serviced at least once every five years. For this purpose, we suggest that you bring or send your watch to the Olivier Randin Lausanne Service Center. This gives you the assurance that your watch will be entrusted to hands of a qualified Olivier Randin Lausanne watchmaker.

The watchmaker will completely disassemble the movement and then clean and inspect all parts and lubricate them in the reassembly process. All functions of the watch will also be tested in detail and the escapement regulated if necessary. Finally, its rate accuracy will be monitored and precision adjusted for a further period of two weeks. The entire process may take several weeks because each watch must undergo a complete series of tests to fulfill the strict quality criteria of Olivier Randin Lausanne.
