Functions and settings
HANDSETTING
• Before you perform any corrections or settings, wind the watch by hand
(10 turns of the winding crown, clockwise).
• Pull the crown out (1).
• Turn the hands in either direction.
• Push the winding crown home again (2).
Instructions
To activate the striking mechanism, push the slide
(3) all the way up.
Now release it completely – do not pull it down.
Two small hammers will now strike the hours,
quarter-hours, and minutes on two gongs of low
and high pitch.
If the watch was set aside unwound for an extended
period of time, the minute repeater might not in-
dicate the correct time on the first try. This may
happen if the oil is not evenly distributed but has
no negative consequences. The striking mechanism
will function correctly if you activate it two or
three times in a row.
Caution:
- The strike sequence of the minute repeater
must be allowed to end completely before it
is activated again.
- Never actuate the winding crown as long as
the repeater is working and for 30 seconds
thereafter. Doing so could cause damage to the
repeating mechanism which would not be cov-
ered by the warranty.

rESISTANcE
Although your watch is equipped with a water-
resistant crown, it is not protected at all against the
ingress of moisture because of the slot for the minute
repeater slide.
Therefore, exercise care to ensure
that liquid does not come into contact with your
watch.
wINDING
When fully wound, your wristwatch has a power
reserve of at least 40 hours. We recommend that
you wind your watch at about the same time ev-
ery day.
We advise you to wind the watch before
you put it on. This way, you can avoid lateral pres-
sure on the winding stem which, in the course of
the years, could damage the stem tube. The same
applies to handsetting. Please use your fingernails
to pull the crown out and turn it gently between two
fingertips.
