Setting the timepiece:

Position 1: Winding the timepiece

Your timepiece is equipped with a mechanical manually-
wound movement. Keep the crown in position 1 and wind 
the mechanism fully without ever forcing it past the stop. 
Turn the crown clockwise.

The power reserve is 32 hours.
Nonetheless, to ensure that your timepiece works perfectly, 
we recommend winding it once a day.

Position 2: Setting the time

Pull the winding crown out to position 2. Turn the hands 
counter-clockwise while moving past 12 o’clock to set the 
time. If the date changes, it is midnight and if not, it is noon.  
Once the change has been made, push the winding crown 
back into position 1.

Using the perpetual calendar function:

Setting the date, month and year 

In position 1, press the corrector at 7 o’clock using the 
correcting stylus; 1 press equates to a change of date. 
The month changes at the end of each month. (e.g. from 
February 28th to March 1st) 

Setting the day and week

In position 1, press the corrector at 11 o’clock using the 
correcting stylus; 1 press equates to 1 day. 7 presses equate 
to 1 week.

Moon phase setting

In position 1, press the corrector at 1 o’clock using the 
correcting stylus; 15 presses equate to 1 moon phase.

Month and leap year setting 

In position 1, press the corrector at 5 o’clock using the 
correcting stylus; 1 press equates to 1 month. 12 presses 
equate to 1 year.

Recommendation of use

Do not set the calendar of your timepiece between 6pm 
and 3am, as this might damage the movement.
