Pull out the crown to position 1. This will stop the movement. To
set the time accurately to the second, it is best to stop the move-
ment as the seconds hand passes 60. Now move the minute hand
a few minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then position the
minute hand by moving it gently backwards until it is exactly above
the correct minute stroke. This ensures that the minute hand begins
to move immediately when you restart the movement. To start the
seconds hand, push in the crown to position 0.
