Advice and care

Your mechanical watch can be wound both manually and automatically.

To reassemble manually :

01 – Press the crown

Make sure that the crown is firmly seated so that the spring can be engaged.

02 – Gently turn the crown clockwise

Rotate the crown clockwise about 40 turns to feed the mechanism’s power reserve to the maximum. You’ll hear the cogs at work. Do not force the spring in case of resistance, as this could damage your watch.

03 – Repeat if mechanism has stopped

Fully wound, our watches run for around 40 hours without being worn. If you have left the watch untouched for a longer time and the mechanism has exhausted its power reserve, repeat steps 1 and 2, then readjust the time.

– Your watch’s mechanism also winds up automatically as your wrist movements feed the power reserve by rotating the oscillating weight. There’s nothing more to do. –

It’s advisable not to wind or set the time while wearing your watch directly on your wrist, as this can force or twist the crown and micro-divert the stem from its axis. With repeated use, this can lead to faster wear of the crown. Remove your watch to perform this operation.

It is not advisable to turn the hands in the opposite direction. It’s better to make a complete turn to readjust the whole.

Do not leave your watch unused for too long. Movement lubricants may coagulate slightly when the watch is not in use, reducing precision. Remember to wind it up from time to time.

Set the time on your watch by manipulating the crown in the classic way.

01 – Pull on the crown

Gently pull the crown out of its initial position until you hear an audible “click”.

02 – Turning the crown

Turn the crown to the desired hand position. Preferably turn clockwise.

03 – Press the crown

Once the hands are in the desired position, press firmly on the crown to return it to its original position.

We strongly advise you not to set the time between 9pm and 3am. This period is known as the “death zone” in watchmaking. If you change anything during this time, you risk upsetting your watch’s automatic mechanism.

The mechanism of your watch is equipped with a date complication that allows you to have the day’s date in the month in addition to the time.

01 – Identify the button

The date button is inlaid in the case, above the crown.

02 – Using a fine tool

To press the button, choose a fine, non-scratching tool, to avoid marking your case.

03 – Press as many times as necessary

Each press changes the date by one day. Press as many times as necessary to reach the desired date, taking care to validate each turn.

We strongly advise you not to set the time between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. when the date-change process is in progress (risk of breaking a tooth on the date disk). This period is known as the “death zone” in watchmaking. If you change anything during this time, you risk upsetting your watch’s automatic mechanism.
