FUNCTION

Dual time

A watch equipped with a dual time complication is able to indicate a “2nd time zone”. This second time

can be read on a central hand or a hand located in a dial graduated from 1 to 24.

In practice, the main hour hand is typically set to the local time of where one is during one’s travels, and

the time of the second time zone can specify the time where one lives, for example.

WINDING

Self-winding mechanical watch

An automatic or self-winding mechanical watch has a sophisticated mechanism which winds it up

automatically thanks to the movements of the wearer's wrist.

When fully wound, your automatic watch has a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. The

accumulated power reserve enables the watch to run throughout the night and still possess a comfortable

margin of autonomy.

Nevertheless, if you have not worn your watch for several days, it will stop or will have insufficient

power reserve to ensure optimal accuracy, which is reached when the watch is fully wound. In this case,

before using it again, we suggest you wind it manually with about 20 clockwise turns of the crown to

ensure that it will operate perfectly in all conditions. After wearing your watch for several hours,

depending on your activity level, the watch will be perfectly wound.

Note:

- The efficiency of the self-winding process is directly linked to the motion of the wearer's wrist. In case

of insufficient movements, the watch may stop even while being worn. In this case, we recommend to

preventively wind the watch manually with about 20 clockwise turns of the crown.

Also, the watchband must be correctly fitted to the wearer’s wrist: if the watchband is too loose, the

watch may not wind itself correctly.

- The watch should be removed from your wrist before winding it. This ensures the crown stem remains

completely straight during winding and avoids the risk of damaging the crown or the movement.

- Do not deliberately shake a self-winding watch in order to wind it. This is ineffective and could damage

the movement.

- Even if your watch is not worn for several months we advise you to regularly wind it manually. This

will prevent the oils from either congealing or flowing over the shafts of the movement.
