The order of winding the mainspring
This is a mechanical watch with automatic winding, equipped with a manual winding mechanism.
When the watch is worn on the wrist, the mainspring is wound automatically by normal wrist movements. The watch can also be wound by turning the crown.
To start the watch after it has stopped completely, wind the watch either by turning the crown or by swinging the watch from side to side until the second hand begins to move. Then, before wearing the watch, set the time and date. Slowly turn the crown clockwise to wind the watch. It is not possible to wind the watch by turning the crown counterclockwise. Turning the crown clockwise will wind the watch completely. Moreover, turning the crown further will not break the mainspring.
For watches with a screw-lock crown, unlock the crown before performing any actions and make sure that the crown is locked after performing any actions.
When the watch is fully wound, it will run for approximately 40-48 hours.
If the watch is used without being fully wound, it may gain or lose time. To avoid this, wear the watch for more than 10 hours a day. If the watch is used without being worn, be sure to fully wind it at the same time every day.
If you are using a watch that has stopped because the mainspring has run out of winding power, winding the mainspring with the crown will not start the watch immediately. This is due to the nature of mechanical watches, in which the torque or force of the mainspring at the beginning of winding is low. The second hand will start moving after reaching a certain torque from the moment the mainspring begins to wind. However, you can start the watch faster by swinging it from side to side to force the pendulum to move.
