FUNCTION TEST
ALARM MECHANISM / BOT-001
Listen Before Disassembly.
The alarm still announces its purpose. Its present function becomes part of the pre-service record.

Where the Investigation
Becomes Mechanical.
This is the working record behind the case files: current bench activity, observed condition, timing and testing, preservation decisions, and the tools used to understand the watch before changing it.

INITIAL EXAMINATION
BOT-001 / LECOULTRE MECHANICAL ALARM
Before a Component Is Removed.
The watch is photographed, its existing condition recorded, and its behavior observed. The first objective is not disassembly. It is understanding what the watch is already telling us.

PRESERVATION
DIAL EVIDENCE / BOT-001
Age Is Not Automatically Damage.
Surface marks and change are documented before any cosmetic intervention is considered.

POWER RESERVE / BOT-002
A 24-Hour Clue.
A short power reserve creates a mechanical question. The symptom is recorded before the cause is assumed.

Tools Support the Evidence.
Measurement, magnification, handling, and careful documentation all support the same objective: understand the watch before deciding what should be changed.
Workshop Method
Observe. Record. Understand. Then Intervene.
01Observe
How does the watch behave now?
02Record
Photographs, markings, timing, and condition.
03Understand
What evidence supports the diagnosis?
04Intervene
Repair what is necessary. Preserve what matters.
