Assembling

Take your time with this. Concentrate and be careful when
assembling the movement. Your workspace or bench should be

Assembly base
Compartment (30)
To complete the assembly, we have included an assembly base here
for you to work on. How it is to be used is clearly pictured on each
photograph.
The high-quality components are best kept at hand, but in their dust-
free packaging and in the compartments of the foam packaging so
they are shock-protected.
In the instruction manual that follows, we have consciously decided
not to go into a functional description of each of the individual parts
so that the assembly can be accomplished more quickly.
The functional aspects of your Mechanica M2 are extensively discus-
sed in Chapter II »Technology and Workings of the Mechanica M2«
starting on page 57.
