Winding the watch
Your watch is fitted with a mechanical hand-wound
movement.
We recommend you to wind the watch fully every
five days (crown in position
A
), or at most every
seven days, by turning the crown clockwise.
The crown is fitted with an uncoupling system
to protect the mainsprings from overtightening
when maximum winding is reached.
NB : to ensure proper operation of the watch, it is
essential to push the crown back to position
N
(neutral) immediately after setting.

Setting the time
Precautions to be taken before setting the time :
Your watch is equipped with a clutch system
making it impossible to set the time
while the
striking mechanism is working.
If you are in position
B
(setting the time) and
you activate the strike (
), the crown returns
automatically to position
A
. It is impossible
to pull the crown to position
B
(setting the time)
when the strike is running.
Despite this uncoupling system, it is advisable
to avoid trying to set the time when the minute
repeater is working.
Pull the crown to position
B
. The stop-seconds
arresting lever is automatically activated when
the crown is pulled to ensure precision time
adjustment.
You may now set the time by winding in either
direction without risk of damaging the movement.
It is advisable to set the hand five minutes past
the desired time and then to move it back to
the exact time.This allows the gears to re-align
themselves, thus ensuring optimal precision.
NB : to ensure proper operation of the watch, it is
essential to push the crown back to position
N
(neutral) immediately after setting.
