To celebrate the semi-annual time change, TOURNEAU will be launching a special program across all its channels, inviting watch owners and fans to visit the stores for a complimentary time set and polishing cloth.

By offering this expert service, Tourneau strives to assist watch owners not only with the time change, but also in keeping their watches looking sharp throughout the year with a luxury polishing cloth. The complimentary cloth is made of untreated microfiber, safely allowing watch owners to polish and clean their timepiece without risking damage from residue or chemicals. As an added incentive, those who visit a Tourneau store from March 9th to 16th will also have the opportunity to enter to win a Tourneau TNY Series Automatic watch valued at $1400.

About Daylight Saving Time
Historically, Benjamin Franklin first created the idea for Daylight Saving in 1784 in his essay "An Economical Project". The idea was not fully adopted by the U.S. until 1966, wherein the time was dictated to "spring forward" one hour at 2:00 am each March. Certain territories, including Hawaii, Arizona, and the Eastern Time Zone portion of Indiana, are the only areas in the U.S. that do not honor the time change.
