Self-winding mechanical watch

A watch with a self-winding mechanical movement is automatically wound as its wearer performs certain everyday movements while the watch is on the wrist. Because of this, the watchband must be correctly fitted to the wearer’s wrist. If the watchband is too loose, the watch may lose some of its autonomy.

A fully wound watch has a power-reserve of approximately 40 to 68 hours (depending on the model) without being worn. Beyond this time, the watch will stop. You will then need to wind it manually by turning the crown clockwise (approximately 20 turns) to provide it with the necessary power reserve.

If your watch is not used for several months, we recommend that you wind it regularly to prevent the oil from thickening thus preventing the correct functioning of the movement.

Hand-wound mechanical watch

A watch with a hand-wound movement is wound by turning the crown in a clockwise direction. The watch is wound when the crown can no longer be turned. Do not wind a mechanical watch beyond its pre-determined locking point.

A fully wound watch has a power-reserve of approximately 40 hours without being worn. Beyond this time, the watch will stop. You will then need to wind it manually by turning the crown clockwise (approximately 20 turns) to provide it with the necessary power reserve.

We recommend that you wind your watch everyday. If your watch is not used for several months, we recommend that you wind it regularly to prevent the oil from thickening thus preventing the correct functioning of the movement.

Date change

It is extremely important that you do not change your date between 8pm and 2am as this may damage the movement. Team WL
