Quick-set of the date
Please note the following when using the date quick-set
feature: The date wheel is engaged by the movement well
before the mechanism is actuated and continues to be
engaged even after actuation. To be on the safe side and to
avoid damage to the movement, please do not operate the
date quick-set feature between 8 p.m. and 1 a.m.
Maintenance
Your mechanical watch operates with a small but powerful
engine. Like an automobile engine, the engine in your watch
must be regularly lubricated. Also, just as a tire tread does
not last forever, the joints and gaskets must be checked and,
when appropriate, be replaced.
At a regular inspection, these things, and many more,
are expertly examined and carried out by an experienced
watchmaker. A general inspection every three to four years
is suggested.
