The enclosed tourbillon
timepiece represents the
very highest disciplines of
watchmaking.
It remains one of the main
horological complications that bears
the mark of the most talented master
watchmakers.
It consists of a mechanism designed
to improve watch precision by
compensating for the interference
due to the Earth's gravity.
The balance and escapement are in a
cage driven around on its own axis,
which completes one rotation per
minute.
Beyond its technical function the
tourbillon provides visual appeal
through the motion of the rotating
cage, its design aesthetic and the
beauty of its escapement.
Our master watchmakers at
SCHILD have paid great attention
to the assembly and adjustment of
your watch. Its precision is subject
to the influence of the Earth's
attraction, magnetic fields and
shocks, as well as the ageing of oils.
For optimal maintenance,
we recommend you bring your
watch in for servicing every 3 or 4
years to guarantee its longevity.
Please review this booklet, which
provides you with the necessary
information to enjoy this remarkable
timepiece.

SCREW-DOWN CROWN
Screw-down crowns are used to ensure
water resistance. ALWAYS be certain
that your crown is securely screwed
down ( Position [0] is secured. Positions
[1] and [2] are not secured for water
resistance ).
Do not unscrew your crown while
you are in any environment where
moisture is present.

C) USING THE SCREW-
DOWN CROWN
Do not pull the crown unless it is
UNSCREWED first:
TO UNSCREW: Turn the
crown anti-clockwise until
it turns freely without
tension.
GENTLY pull the crown out
to the other desired
positions for watch setting.
TO SCREW: Push the
crown ALL THE WAY IN
(towards the watch) THEN
begin to turn clockwise
until it is securely screwed
down.
Failure to SECURELY screw down the
crown after setting the watch may
affect its water resistance.

D) WINDING
THE MAINSPRING
1. With the crown in position [1], turn
clockwise until you feel resistance.
The watch is wound.
2. Some watches will be manufactured
with a skeleton movement. You
should be able to see the balance
wheel start to move rapidly to
indicate the watch has sufficient
power.
Daily winding is recommended.
When manually winding a watch
always turn the crown in a clockwise
direction.
Do not force the crown when you feel
the spring become tense toward the
end of the winding process.
This timepiece is powered
mechanically. It requires
hand-winding for it to function.

Never operate any of the function
buttons or crown when timepiece is in
contact with water.
Avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields
or sources of static electricity as these
may interrupt the mechanisms inside
the watch. It is also important to avoid
extreme shock or impact.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Each SCHILD timepiece is designed
and manufactured to exceed the highest
of standards. In order to ensure optimal
performance and longevity from your
timepiece, please review the simple
guidelines for care and maintenance of
your new SCHILD timepiece.
Your timepiece should be cleaned with a
soft cloth and water only. Do not
submerge your timepiece. Your
timepiece should be rinsed clean and
dried with a soft cloth after any
saltwater use.
We advise having your timepiece
serviced every 3 or 4 years to ensure
long use and trouble free operation.
While your SCHILD timepiece has been
designed and built to exacting
specification, it is important to avoid the
following conditions: extreme heat or
cold, as well as prolonged periods of
exposure to direct sunlight, exposure to
wet conditions that exceed your
timepiece’s water rating (see case back).

WATER RESISTANCE
The water resistance indicated on your
timepiece serves only as a guide.
Actual water resistance may vary
depending on a number of important
factors including temperature, water
salinity, and actual use under water.
The water resistance of your timepiece
may eventually be compromised over
time with general wear and tear and the
use of your watch under adverse
conditions.
Note that you should NEVER wear your
watch in a jacuzzi, hot shower or steam
room where steam may enter the case
despite the watertight seals used to
protect your watch.
The steam may cause condensation
inside your watch, which may affect
and damage the inner workings of
your watch – which would also not be
covered by the warranty.
