HOW DO I SET MY AUTOMATIC WATCH?
You have just purchased a watch with an automatic movement. Unlike a conventional watch (quartz watch), you must wind up the spring of the automatic movement of your watch regularly if you want it to work properly. When the clock is stopped (first use) or if it has not been worn for a few tens of hours, it can be started by turning the crown ten times (crown in normal position) or by shaking the watch for 1 minute (the little weight wil then wind up the spring of motion). After that, the movements of your wrist will make the watch run. We advise you to repeat this procedure on a daily basis if you find that your watch is slow or if it stops.
Of course our team of professional watchmakers is also at your disposal and available for any further explanation.

WHAT CARE CAN I GIVE TO MY WATCH TO MAKE IT LAST?
To preserve your watch, we recommend you to use a soft brush with warm soapy water and gently brush (this method is only possible if your watch is water resistant up to at least 50 meters) . Rinse the watch thoroughly with cool water and dry it with a soft cloth. We particularly recommend this after going to the swimming pool or to the sea.
We also recommend you to avoid prolonged contact with water to ensure the longevity of your leather bracelets.
Contact with greasy substances, cosmetics as well as prolonged exposure to sunlight should be avoided as they may deteriorate rapidly the joints on your watch.
You need to protect your watch from shocks and avoid intense activities such as DIY or very dynamic sports.
WHAT ARE THE WATERPROOFING RULES FOR A WATCH?
The resistance of a watch is always shown on the back of the case. So if no indication is given, your watch isn’t waterproof.
A 30 meters water resistant watch does not allow immersion and can not bear more than the occasional splashes. That's why we advise you to remove your watch before any contact with water: washing hands, cleaning dishes.
A 50 meters water resistant watch will allow you to immerse it but with a reasonable use in the bathroom tub or a pool without any diving. Please be aware that a direct jet from a shower or a tap directly on the glass or the push buttons may be the equivalent of a 50 meters water pressure and your watch may then take the water.
A 100 meters water resistant watch will not take water and will resist immersions even when used during water sports.
A 200 meters water resistant watch can be uses in deep water while scuba diving, jet skiing, or diving.
It is important to understand that the watch is sealed during the manufacturing process but that state cannot be guaranteed for life. Seals and joints age and it is therefore necessary to check your watch after at the occasion of every opening and also during maintenance check every year.
