Setting the Time and Date:
Your automatic watch is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped, it will need to be wound manually before setting the time and date.
- Manual Winding: Gently rotate the crown clockwise about 20-30 times to initiate power reserve.
- Setting the Date: Pull the crown out to the first click position. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
- Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to the second click position. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in to start the watch.

Operating Your Watch
Automatic Movement:
The watch is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement. This means it is powered by the natural motion of your arm and does not require a battery. When worn regularly, the movement of your wrist will keep the mainspring wound, ensuring continuous operation.
Power Reserve:
When fully wound, your watch has a power reserve that allows it to continue running for a certain period (typically 36-40 hours) even when not worn. If the watch stops due to lack of motion, simply wind it manually as described in the "Setup" section or wear it for a few hours to restart the movement.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your Thomas Earnshaw watch.
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the stainless steel case, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry one.
- Water Resistance: While the watch is designed for daily wear, it is generally not suitable for swimming or showering. Avoid direct contact with water to prevent damage to the movement and leather strap.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect the accuracy of the movement.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, certain electronic devices) as magnetism can affect the watch's accuracy.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch for extended periods, store it in its original box or a watch winder to keep the movement running and lubricated.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch stops running | Insufficient power reserve (not worn enough or not wound) | Manually wind the watch by rotating the crown 20-30 times, or wear it consistently for several hours. |
| Watch runs too fast/slow | Exposure to strong magnetic fields; needs regulation | Demagnetize the watch (can be done by a watchmaker). If problem persists, seek professional service for regulation. |
| Date does not change | Incorrect time setting (AM/PM issue); date setting during restricted hours | Advance the time past 12 PM to ensure correct AM/PM. Avoid setting date between 9 PM and 3 AM. |
