How does a quartz watch work?Updated 7 months ago

When you take your watch out of the box, the crown is usually set with a small plastic spacer. This is to prevent the battery from being used before the watch arrives, especially in the case of quartz movements. In order for the watch to start running, please remove the stopper, turn the dial to the desired time and then carefully push the crown into the case. Your personal piece of nature is ready for use.


The exact battery life is indicated in the instructions, which can be found on our product page of the respective model when you scroll below the sample pictures. If you notice that the movement is becoming irregular, it means that the battery needs to be replaced. You can easily have it replaced at your nearest watchmaker or jeweller. We can also replace it in one of our stores.
