Post subject:  TO LE with questions!

For all of you that have the TO LE (or other with the calibre 01 movement) if you could share your experience with me that would be great!

1. Any reasons why the chronometer cannot be run continuously or will it drain the motor so quickly that it is not recommended? Any mechanical reasons not too? If you don't run the chronograph, does it need to be activated once in while to maintain the gears oiled up?

2. Any one have the same experience with their TO as Stef did with his N01, with the minute subdial skipping minutes upon activation of the chrono? Or other movement issues with their TO?

Thank you all in advance.
Cheers
Brez

It's probably a bit early for TO specific issues, but the same issues as any other 01 movement will apply and quite a few people have reported those here.

In terms of the chronograph, there's no issue in running it constantly. The power reserve will be reduced but if it's a daily wearer or kept on a winder then that's more of a theoretical issue than a real one. You should tyr and run the chronograph for at least 24 hours a month to keep the chronograph gears well lubricated.
