PREPARING THE WATCH FOR USE
WINDING – TIME-SETTING
Nota bene: mechanical watches endowed with a date, day,
month or moon-phase indicator are equipped with a complex
mechanism that is set into motion between 8 pm and 3 am. It is
therefore vital to avoid adjusting the calendar or moving the
time backwards during this period.
1. Wind the watch by 40 clockwise turns of the crown.
2. Pull the crown out to position 2, turn it clockwise to
adjust the calendar to the day prior to the date when
it is set into operation.
3. Pull the crown out to position 3. t urn the hands so as
to make the calendar jump once when the hands pass
through midnight. t hen adjust the hour and minute.
4. Push the crown back in to position 1.
