Winding
Crown in position 1
It takes 88 rotations of the crown to restore the 88-hour
power reserve. However, the Calibre Royal features
another high-effi ciency system. You need only wind the
watch manually using the crown until the power reserve
reaches 30 or 40 hours. The self-winding system will do
the rest. Although your Calibre Royal has an excellent
isochronism once it has reached a power reserve of 16
hours, for the sake of convenience we recommend you
fully wind the movement.
Setting the moon phase
This operation is very simple. Using a stylus to press on
the corrector, set the moon disc to the full moon position.

the last full moon. Count the days elapsed since the last full
moon, and then press the corrector the same number of times
using the Pequignet stylus.
For example: the date of the correction is 15 June.
The lunar calendar tells you that the date of the last full
moon was 10 June. So we count the days 11, 12, 13, 14,
15, i.e. a total of 5. So after setting to the full moon
position, press the corrector 5 times.
NB: we recommend not making this setting between
midnight and 3 a.m.
