English
Automatic mechanical movement
This term means that your watch automatically stores up energy as you wear it on your wrist.
Indeed, your daily movement allows the oscillating mass to carry out rotating movements which,
thanks to a clockwork system, reproduce an energy to the movement and allows it to automatically
wind itself. Daily wear is enough to assure the power reserve necessary for your watch to function
well without it being necessary to wind it.
If your watch has not been worn for several consecutive days, it has to be manually wound. To do
this, please refer to the paragraph above ‘Manual winding mechanical movement’.
Quartz movement
Quartz watches are battery-powered and do not need to be wound. The battery must be replaced
periodically, approximately every 2 years. To have the battery replaced, contact an approved
Girard-Perregaux Repair Centre.
Recycling
New or spent batteries must not be disposed of with household waste.
These components must be taken to a collection point specifically designed
for recycling electrical and electronic equipment and batteries. By ensuring
that these products are correctly and appropriately disposed of, you are helping to
prevent any potentially harmful effects on the environment and on human health.
Recycling materials will help protect natural resources.
