Setting The Time - Patek Philippe ANNUAL CALENDAR CHRONOGRAPH Mode D'emploi

INSTRUCTIONS
WINDING CROWN
The winding crown is used to manually 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 45 hours.
When it has stopped after depleting the power
reserve, it can be rewound by hand (about 10 clock-
wise turns of the crown).

SETTING THE TIME

To set the time, gently pull the crown all the way
out and move the hands in either direction. Once
you have set the correct time, push the crown home
again. The day/night indicator allows you to verify
whether the time displayed by your watch is between
6 a.m. and 6 p.m. (white) or between 6 p.m. and
6 a.m. (blue). When you turn the hands clockwise
beyond midnight, the calendar displays will advance
as well. We advise against turning the hands coun-
terclockwise across midnight because this would
desynchronize the calendar displays; however, it
would not damage the calendar mechanism.

CHRONOGRAPH
The chronograph is started and stopped with the
pusher at 2 o'clock. It is reset to zero with the
pusher at 4 o'clock, whether the chronograph
has been stopped or is running. When you press
the pusher at 4 o'clock while the chronograph is
running, this triggers the flyback function: all the
chronograph hands fly back to zero and instantly
start a new measurement. Conversely, if you first
stop the chronograph by pressing the pusher
2 o'clock, actuation of the pusher
cause the chronograph hands to return to the zero
position and stay there. When resetting the chrono-
graph to zero, make sure you press the pusher
4 o'clock firmly and squarely in the middle.
Note: If the chronograph function is not needed, the chrono-
graph hand can continue to run just like an ordinary sweep
seconds hand. This will not cause premature wear of the
clutch mechanism or reduce the power reserve.
