Automatic mechanical movement
This term means that your watch automatically stores up energy as you wear it on your wrist.
Indeed, your daily movement allows the oscillating mass to carry out rotating movements which,
thanks to a clockwork system, reproduce an energy to the movement and allows it to automatically
wind itself. Daily wear is enough to assure the power reserve necessary for your watch to function
well without it being necessary to wind it.
If your watch has not been worn for several consecutive days, it has to be manually wound. To do
this, please refer to the paragraph above ‘Manual winding mechanical movement’.
WINDING
Introduction
winding allows the movement to store up the energy necessary for your watch to function well.
Mechanical movements manufactured and produced at the manufacture Girard-Perregaux can be
manual or automatic depending on the model of your watch.
Manual winding mechanical movement
This type of movement means that to function normally, your watch needs to be regularly wound.
Depending on the model and the power reserve of your watch, it can go between 30 to 60
hours between two windings.
Setting
To wind your watch, turn the crown clockwise when it is in position 0) or 0’) when it is a screw-
down crown. As soon as it starts to resist, it means the mechanism is sufficiently wound.
Warning:
Do not force if the resistance increases, the movement mechanism could be damaged.
