WINDING
Introduction
Winding allows the movement to store up the energy necessary for your watch to function well.
The mechanical movement of your Girard-Perregaux watch can be manual or automatic depending
on the model of your watch.
Manual winding mechanical movement
This type of movement means that to function normally, your watch needs to be regularly wound.
Depending on the model and the power reserve of your watch, it can go between 30 to 60 hours
between two windings.
Setting
To wind your watch, turn the crown clockwise when it is in position 0) or 0’) when it is a screw-
down crown. According to the model, the crown may be turned in the opposite direction. As soon
as it starts to resist, it means the mechanism is sufficiently wound.
Warning: Do not force if the resistance increases, the movement mechanism could be damaged.
