This guide explains all the functions available for 
different Baume & Mercier watch models.

To adjust your watch, please refer to the inside cover 
of this guide and the diagram which most closely re-
sembles your watch dial. Then follow the directions 
corresponding to your model.

Your Baume 

Mercier watch may come with a 

screw-down crown. If so, you must first unlock the 
screw-down crown by turning it counter-clockwise 
before adjusting the date or the time or winding the 
watch.

Once you have finished adjusting your watch, press 
lightly on the crown while turning gently clockwise, 
tightening it down again until you feel some resist-
ance. If the crown is not correctly screwed-down 
and locked, your watch may not be completely wa-
ter-resistant.

on the inside cover of this guide.

A. BASIC FUNCTIONS

WINDING

Hand-wound mechanical watch

Crown in Position 1: turn crown clockwise.

The watch is fully wound when the crown can no 
longer be turned.

Warning: do not turn beyond its pre-determined 
blocking point, otherwise you may damage the 
movement.

A mechanical watch has a power reserve of about 
40 hours 

1h

. We recommend you wind it once a day.

Self-winding mechanical watch

A watch equipped with an automatic winding mech-
anism automatically winds itself throughout the day 
as you move your wrist.
Because of this, the watchband must be correctly 
fitted to the wearer’s wrist. If the watchband is too 
loose, the watch may not wind itself correctly. For 
optimal winding, wear your watch daily.
Before wearing your watch, you must wind it manu-
ally. To do this, set to Position 1 and then turn the 
crown clockwise approximately 20 to 30 turns.
