Components
Suggestion:
Please use the gloves
included in the kit to
assemble the dial.
Contact with sweat
could otherwise
leave marks that
may be very difficult
to remove.
Carefully place the pre-assembled
dial on the four knurled nuts of
the pillars
*
and secure them using
four cylinder-head screws M2 x 4.
Suggestion:
When adding the
minute hand,
please ensure its
proper position
in relation to the
counterweight
(see illustration
on page 40).
Aligning the Hands
The minute and hour hands
must now be aligned. Position
the minute hand at the full
hour.
Hold onto the minute hand
and carefully move the hour
hand toward an hour marker.
Adding the Hands
Then place the hands on each of their arbors in the order listed
below:
1.
Second hand
2.
Hour hand
3.
Minute hand
Test them by carefully moving the minute hand so that the hands
don’t touch each other or the dial.
