Winding the movement.
Turn the crown (in position A) until reaching an end stop. When fully wound, the
power reserve is approximately 36 hours.
Setting the time.
Pull the crown to position B to set the hour and minute hands. Set the time gently and
carefully by turning the hands forward or backward. If the watch is stopped, wind the
movement manually to have enough power to remain in operation.
Important : do not activate the striking mechanism while setting the time in order
to avoid damages on the movement.
Striking mechanism.
The Minute Repeater chimes the hours, quarters and minutes. A scene with automa-
tons gives life to the dial while the movement is chiming. Depending on model, this
scene represents the Jaquemarts, forgerons working on their anvil, figures of a circus
(clown, monkey, tiger...) or a jungle landscape with animals.
Precision.
Precision and average daily rate depend on the activity of the person wearing the
instrument. Magnetic fields (computers, mobile phones, etc.) may influence the
working of a watch. Violent shocks or knocks - quite common in playing tennis or
golf − should be avoided.
Because a mechanical watch is a fine piece of miniature engineering consisting of
well over 200 individual parts, its precision will never match that of a quartz timepiece.
Water-resistance.
A minute repeater is an example of time-keeping art; it is not a sports watch.
Its construction was conceived to resist normal, everyday environmental stress. Normal
movements, accidental splashes of water, and temperature changes will not affect the
smooth running.
However violent shocks or dropping the watch on a hard surface may damage the
watch. Additionally, swimming or showering must be avoided as well.
Maintenance.
All mechanical watches should have their movements cleaned and the oil replaced
every 3-5 years. The life span of any mechanical timepiece will primarily depend upon
both daily care and the recommended routine maintenance. We strongly encourage
you to have your timepiece serviced only at officially authorized Ulysse Nardin After
Sales Service departments. For additional information regarding After Sales Service
