  Method for setting the time on a Cartier watch

  1. First, unscrew the crown in the middle of the Cartier watch. Once unscrewed and without pulling it out, rotating the crown upwards winds the mainspring. For a new Cartier watch or one that has been left unused for a long time, it is recommended to wind it about 30 times to build up a power reserve, preventing stoppage or inaccurate timekeeping due to insufficient movement.

  2. Pull the crown out further, turn the hands two full revolutions, and stop at the 7 o'clock position. Why do this? Because adjusting these functions while a new Cartier watch is stationary can cause a jam. If it has not been worn for a long time, it is also recommended to follow this operation to avoid damaging the movement. Then, pull the crown out to the first click to adjust the date to the 1-31 day. If you encounter a month with only 30 days, you will need to manually advance past the 31th.

  3. Pull the crown out to the second notch to adjust the time.

  4. The top-right pusher on a Cartier watch is for adjusting the day of the week, displayed on the small subdial at the 9 o'clock position on the dial. The day function jumps 7 time per revolution or a multiple 7 of 14 times—that is, jumping once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

  5. The bottom-right pusher on a Cartier watch is for adjusting the month, displayed on the small subdial at the 3 o'clock position on the dial. The month jumps 12 time per revolution, whereas the date jumps 31 times per revolution.

  6. The small subdial at the 6 o'clock position on the dial is a 24-hour indicator, which moves alongside the hour hand when setting the time, operating on a 24-hour format.

  7. Avoid adjusting the time and other functions of your Cartier watch between 23:00 in the evening and 5:00 in the morning to prevent damaging the internal components.

  Review: This version has several corrections made; overall, it is hard to find fault with this watch. The biggest improvement is that the dial craftsmanship is much better, and whether it is the hour markers, hands, or dial colour, it is almost identical to the genuine article. The sapphire material and craftsmanship of the crown have been upgraded. The texture of the leather strap is also closer to the genuine effect, and it also comes with a rubber strap pairing.
