Moon phase
Watches with a moon-phase complication display the cycles of the moon on their dial (first quarter, full moon...).
Moon phases are generally displayed using a moving disk which makes one rotation every lunar month (29 ½
days).
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 120 hours (5 days). The
accumulated power reserve enables the watch to be taken off and worn again after a long weekend or week.
Nevertheless, if you have not worn your watch for several days, it will stop. In this case, before using it again,
we suggest you wind it manually with about 50 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 50 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.
