Adjustment and Maintenance

Wind your hand-wound watch by twisting the crown (while fully pressed into the case) away from you until you notice a certain resistance. The movement achieves maximum accuracy when it is wound once a day.

Ihre Uhr zieht sich dank ihres Automatikwerks beim Tragen selbstständig auf. Initial – und nach Tragepausen – sollten Sie Ihre Uhr jedoch durch mind. 30maliges Hin- und Herbewegen der anliegenden Krone “aufladen”. Hinweis: Anders als bei Handaufszugsuhren, ist bei Ihrer Automatikuhr kein Widerstand zu spüren, wenn sie voll aufgezogen ist. Aber keine Sorge, die Uhr ist technisch so ausgestattet, dass ein Überziehen der Feder nicht möglich ist.

Carefully pull the crown to the outermost position. Then turn the crown towards you and set the time. With your single-hand watch we recommend that you wait for the next full five minutes. Then carefully press the crown back into its original position.

To ensure that the date of your watch jumps at night – and not during the day – you first need to find out whether your watch is currently showing day or night. To do so, pull the crown to the outermost position and twist it towards you until the date jumps. Now it is twelve o’clock midnight. Turn the hand a little further until the watch displays later than 2 a.m. so as not to damage the calendar mechanism. Now push the crown one position further inwards and turn it away from you to set the current date. Then carefully press the crown back into its original position.

To ensure that the day and date rings of your watch jump at night – and not during the day – you first need to find out whether your watch is currently showing day or night. Pull the crown to the outermost position and twist it towards you until the day and the date jump. Now it is twelve o’clock midnight. Turn the hand a little further until the watch displays later than 2 a.m. so as not to damage the calendar mechanism. Now push the crown one position further inwards. The day and the date can be set in this position – depending on the direction of rotation of the crown.  Twist the crown away from you to set the date; twist the crown towards you to set the right day of the week. Then carefully press the crown back into its original position.

DTo ensure that the day and the moon phase display of your watch jump at night – and not during the day – you first need to find out whether your watch is currently showing day or night. To do so, pull the crown to the outermost position and turn the hand until the day and the moon jump. Now it is twelve o’clock midnight. Turn the hand a little further until the watch displays later than 2 a.m. so as not to damage the calendar mechanism.
Find out when the last full moon and new moon were. Choose the most recent of the two. Now you need to set the moon and the date of your watch to coincide with this event.
Pull the crown slightly outwards. The moon and the date can be set in this position – depending on the direction of rotation of the crown. To start with, set the moon to new moon or full moon by twisting the crown towards you. Then set the date to the date you have researched by twisting the crown away from you.
Next, set the watch to today’s date and the right time. Pull the crown to the outermost position 3 and turn the hand until you reach today’s date and the correct time. Do not set the date via position 2 or else the moon phase will not move with it.
Then press the crown carefully back to its original position.

To wind or set the watch, first unscrew the crown by twisting it towards you several times. The crown is fully unscrewed when it noticeably jumps to the winding position.
