HACKING THE SECOND HAND
The second hand can be stopped to synchronize the time to another watch.
1. To stop the second hand, pull out the crown to the 2nd position.
2. Push the crown back in to the normal crown position when ready to synchronize.

WINDING THE MAINSPRING BY SIMPLY WEARING THE WATCH
By simply wearing the watch on your wrist, the mainspring is wound automatically as a result of the natural motion of your arm.

WINDING THE MAINSPRING MANUALLY
Rotate the crown counter clockwise (downward) 8 times in the normal crown position and shake the watch slightly.

Mechanical watch movements are intricate micro-machines built to exacting standards. To ensure that your watch operates with perfect precision for many years to come, please familiarize yourself with the following:

Accuracy: The average accuracy tolerance for the NH35 movement is around -20/+40 seconds per day under normal operating conditions. Accuracy depends very much on the natural motion of your arm.

Service Intervals: As with most precision machines, an automatic watch must be serviced regularly to maintain peak performance. We recommend that you have your watch professionally serviced every 5 to 6 years. A shorter service interval may be required depending on the climate and conditions the watch is exposed to.
