The spring which activates the repeating mechanism
is wound with the slide piece C drawn round the watch

To activate the striking mechanism, lift the slide C up
and maintain the position for 2 seconds before release.
A locking device releases the repeating mechanism
only when the slide has reached the end of its travel.

crown has been pulled out (time setting position).
Do always wait 30 seconds in between each complete
chime to avoid damaging the movement.

MINUTE REPEATER FUNCTION
Setting the time
Do not attempt to set time when the striking mechanism is in
operation as this might damage the movement.
Pull the crown out one click. Turn the crown in either direction
to set the hands at the time required. Press the crown back in.
Minute Repeater mechanism
The Minute Repeater strikes to indicate the number of hours,
the number of quarter hours since the last hour and the
number of minutes since the last quarter.
This requires three different sound sequences to distinguish
between hours, quarter hours, and minutes. It first sounds
the hours in a low tone, then the quarter-hour in a two-tone
sequence, and the remaining minutes in a high tone.
Example 1: 10.10 a.m.
1 - 10 times in a low tone for the hours
2 - No quarter sound
3 - 10 times in a high tone for the minutes
Example 2: 3.37 p.m.
1 - 3 times in a low tone for the hours
2 - 2 quarter sounds
3 - 7 times in a high tone for the remaining minutes
