Starting the automaton
This automaton mechanism animates a flower that opens up to reveal a stone. The stone is mounted on a pivoting axis which rotates the
stone throughout the animation.
Activate the automaton by pressing the Start push-button at 2 o’clock. As soon as the push-button is pressed, the petals open at the same pace.
This arms the spring, thus engaging the mechanism.
(Caution: it is not advised to press the push-button for longer than 5 seconds for risk of damaging the spring.)
The animation of the petals opening and closing lasts approximately 8 seconds. The animation can be restarted at any time.
Kindly remember
: This watch is guaranteed water-resistant to 3 bar (30 metres), provided that the crown is in position .
