Mrs. Fitzwilliam, your Meridian No. 3 ran on the bench for eleven days before we let it near a box. It kept faith throughout. It now travels insured, in person, and nowhere near a conveyor.

Carried by Cadogan Secure Couriers, two-person crew, insured for the full £5,180.00 from our door to yours.

The keeping
Wind it every Sunday morning, clockwise, until you feel the first firm resistance — never beyond it. Eight days of running follow.
Should you ever move house, stop the movement first; the key and instructions ride in the walnut drawer. Servicing is due once a decade. Until then, it wants nothing of you but the winding.
Serial № 0341 · Lifetime movement warranty
