Before the first wind
| 1. |
Let the watch rest for an hour after its journey — cold steel in a warm room invites condensation under the crystal. |
| 2. |
Give the crown twenty slow turns before first wear. It will keep within a few seconds a day from there. |
| 3. |
Set the time with the hands moving forward. The movement prefers it. |
