Automatic (self winding) watches rely on the movement of the
arm to operate and do require some winding occasionally, even if you wear
your watch on a daily basis. |
|
| |
If you wear your automatic watch
daily, we recommend that you wind it once every two weeks to keep
the wheels and oil in motion. Simply unscrew or pull out the crown (button)
and wind it until you meet slight resistance. |
|
| |
If you do not wear your automatic
watch daily, you should if possible try to wind it at least twice
a week, to ensure continuous operation, as well as keeping the inside mechanism
in complete working order. |
|
| |
If you have a mechanical watch,
try to wind it at the same time each day. This continuity is extremely beneficial
for the mechanism. Also, if the watch is wound at the same time each day
then it is unlikely (not impossible) that you will not forget to wind it.
We recommend winding the watch in the morning. The watch is fully wound
when the crown comes to a stop. Please note, do not attempt to force the
crown beyond this point, as this might damage the motor spring. |

Changing the date |
| |
Do not change the date between 10pm and 2am.
This is because the pinions are repositioning themselves to carry out the
automatic date change and any interference at this moment may damage the
movement. |
|
| |
Warning! Always
avoid wearing any type of mechanical watch, if your are playing a sport
requiring continuous arm motion (e.g. tennis, baseball, golf), since this
type of prolonged activity could damage the rotor preventing normal operation
of the movement. |
|
| |
Please note that if you collect your watch
personally from our London showroom one of our staff will give you a full
demonstration of how your particular timepiece operates and will also advise
you on daily care. |
