　　How to set the time on an IWC Le Petit Prince?

　　IWC has never pursued mass production, faithfully adhering to the inherent philosophy of making watches in small quantities yet with exceptional quality even to this day. Consequently, the craftsmanship of every IWC watch is remarkably outstanding. Among them, the beautiful and unique design of the IWC Le Petit Prince models has won widespread affection. However, do you know how to set the time on an IWC Le Petit Prince watch? Below, the editor will explain the method for setting the time on the IWC Le Petit Prince for your reference.

　　Method for setting the time on the IWC Le Petit Prince

　　1. According to the method described in the user guide, pull the crown out to the manual setting position, then adjust the hands clockwise until the date changes to the next day. If the watch has stopped running, it is difficult to determine whether the time shown by the hands is morning or afternoon, but as long as you pay attention when the date changes to the next day, it indicates that the time is midnight 12 o'clock.

　　2. Turn the hour hand at least 6 hours past midnight (i.e., 6 o'clock in the morning) before adjusting the hands. Use the rapid advance mechanism of the date function to adjust the watch to yesterday's date. The date function of the watch operates normally between 8 o'clock in the evening and 3 o'clock in the early morning, and adjusting the hands during this time will damage the performance of the movement. 6 o'clock in the morning is definitely not the date-changing period, and adjusting the hands at this time is most appropriate. After setting the date to yesterday's date, you can proceed with the following steps:

　　3. Push the crown back to the normal position to activate the movement, then pull it out again to the manual setting position, and adjust the second hand to the 12 o'clock position. This procedure allows you to use a time signal to set the watch accurately to the second.

　　4. Now turn the hands clockwise until the date shows today, then adjust the time to about 5 minutes ahead of the actual time. If the current time has passed noon, make sure to turn the hour hand past 12 o'clock. By checking whether the date turns, you can determine whether the time displayed by the watch is around noon. Furthermore, this method allows you to set the time between 12 o'clock 30 minutes at night and 3 o'clock in the early morning without damaging the date mechanism.

　　Review:In the early days of human aviation history, watches designed specifically for flying were very rare, so most pilots had to rely on pocket watches. IWC led the era by creating the first special edition Pilot's Watch in 1936, equipped with a solid glass crystal and a rotating bezel with an arrow-shaped index to record short durations. Furthermore, the watch featured an anti-magnetic escapement system as well as high-contrast, clearly legible luminescence hands and numerals. This model is the extremely famous Mark 9. Later, the IWC Pilot's series served more flight forces, such as the Big Pilot's Watch manufactured by 1940 for the German Air Force. The Mark series and the Big Pilot have been passed down to this day, and the Mark series has continued without interruption, making every model a classic.

　　Review:Regarding this watch, the genuine version has a dual chronograph function with 2 red large second hands. Currently, the replica market has not truly replicated this, so this watch is missing one large second hand compared to the genuine model. The sandblasted black ceramic case gives it a cool feel. The Asian ETA7750 movement ensures the watch's precise timing. The 46mm mm case diameter and large dial are suitable for rugged men. The 30 metre water resistance depth is sufficient for daily use.
