WINDING  AND  TIME - SETTING

To wind the movement or set the time you can either place 
Medusa on its stand, or remove the tentacles when it is 
suspended; then hold the movement by the highlighted 
blue part on the diagram below. If nonetheless you decide 
to leave the tentacles in place when manipulating the 
clock, be careful not to push the tentacles outside of their 
position as they are only hung and not fixed.

Wind the movement by turning the propeller located at 
the bottom on the movement (red part on the diagram) 
with anti-clockwise rotations. The movement should be 
fully wound once a week (the clock’s power reserve is 7 
days). Be sure to wind the spring completely: you will  
notice that the necessary force increases significantly, but 
do not wind further as this is the sign that the movement is 
fully wound. Excessive winding beyond this point will  
damage the spring, requiring servicing.

To set the time, turn the same propeller but rotate 
clockwise.
