Operation Manual

Note on automatic watches

The automatic models are mechanical watches without a battery.

Mechanical watches are subject to all kinds of inﬂuences from the

environment and the wearer. These include ﬂuctuations in temperature,

varying air pressure, vibration and strain caused by the wearer. Unlike with

quartz watches, slight tolerance is normal.

Automatic watches are wound during use. There is an oscillating weight in

the clockwork which winds the mainspring when your arm moves. In order for

your watch to work properly the mainspring has to be wound slightly. All that

is necessary is for you to wear the watch and move your arm a little.

The watch starts automatically. As long as the watch is worn it winds itself.

As soon as you take your watch off, the self-winding function stops working.

If the watch has been worn long enough for it to be fully wound it will,

however, run for many hours before it stops. It is not a problem to take the

watch off over night. The period of time between the mainspring being fully

wound and completely unwound is called the power reserve. If you put the

watch back on in the morning the watch will be automatically wound again

during use. If the watch stops completely, then please simply follow the

instructions above.
