March 17, 2006, Newsletter Issue #9: Setting The Date On Mechanical Watches

Tip of the Week

Never change the date manually when the hour hand is about the 9 and 3.. Adjusting the date with the quick-set can damage the movement in this position.
Never wind the hands back beyond the 12-midnight position, this can damage the movement.
Some watches with complex movements and/or features require special care; please check the instructions that came with the watch.
