INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Starting the watch
Your watch contains an automatic movement. This uses a weighted rotor that transfers kinetic
energy through a series of gears into a mainspring that then releases the energy throughout
the day.
To cut a long story short: your watch can run off the movement of your wrist, but if there is
no energy in the mainspring (let’s say you did the unthinkable and left the house without it on)
it will need some intervention to get it started.
A few clockwise turns of the crown will restart the watch. To manually re-power your watch,
unscrew the winding crown anticlockwise from the case to position
I
. Wind the crown in a
clockwise direction for approximately 20 revolutions (please note you can’t overwind your
watch’s movement).
Push the winding crown back to the normal position (
0
) and screw down clockwise to
keep it watertight. It will then automatically wind itself from the movement of your wrist as
you wear it. If normal daily activity is not sufficient, manual winding (or getting off the sofa)
may be necessary.
Setting the time
Unscrew the winding crown anticlockwise from the case and pull it out to the second click
(position
2
). Turn the crown anticlockwise to advance the hour/ minute hands until they
indicate the desired time.
