winding crown
The winding crown is used to wind the watch
(position 1) and to set the time (position 2).
winding
Your watch incorporates a self-winding movement.
The movements of your wrist set a centrifugal mass
in motion; this tensions the mainspring which
stores the energy. When you take off your fully
wound watch, it will continue to run for at least
48 hours. When it has stopped after depleting the
power reserve, it can be rewound by hand (about
10 clockwise turns of the crown). Please wind the
watch before you put it on. This way, you can avoid
lateral pressure on the winding stem which in the
course of the years could damage the stem tube.
setting the time
To set the correct time, proceed as follows:
1. Press the push piece at 10 o'clock repeatedly
until the city name that corresponds to your
time zone is at 12 o'clock.
2. Pull the crown out slightly and move it clockwise
or counterclockwise until the hour indication
on the ring at the 12 o'clock position coincides
with the local time (in 24-hour notation) and
the minute hand shows the right time as well.
Push the crown home again.
After this setting, the time and the city on the
24-hour ring indicated by the arrow at 12 o'clock
corresponds to the time displayed by the hands.
