Characteristics:
- Mechanical: manually wound or self-winding
- Frequency: 21,600 vph
- Power reserve: 40 hours
Finishes:
- Circular "Côtes de Genève"
- Circular-grained plate
- Bevelled and drawn bridges
- Blued screws

Winding the movement
For manually wound watches:
Proceed to wind the watch with the crown in position 0, turning it forwards until it locks (corresponding to approx. 40 hours of autonomy).
For self-winding watches:
Winding is carried out by the movements of the wrist when the watch is worn. If the watch has not been worn for around 40 hours, wind it by hand with the crown in position 0 (around 10 turns of the crown are enough to restart the mechanism).
Power-reserve indicator:
Some models are equipped with a power-reserve indicator on the dial. It indicates the number of hours for which your watch will continue to run without being rewound (for manually wound movements) or without being worn (for self-winding movements).

Setting the time:
Pull the crown out to position 1 and turn it forwards or backwards to position the hands. For precise time-setting, make sure the last turn is in a clockwise direction.
Ensure that the crown is always pushed back into position 0 after each adjustment.

Water resistance
Apart from certain high jewellery models and historical watch models, all Piaget watches are water-resistant for up to 30 metres.
The water resistance of a watch protects its interior from any risk of deterioration due to infiltration of dust or immersion in water. Piaget guarantees the water resistance of its water-resistant watches for a two-year period as of the date of purchase, subject to guarantee exclusions.
High jewellery models and historical watches that are not water-resistant are nonetheless resistant to running water and dust.

Tips on caring for your watch
In order to maintain the radiance of your watch and metal bracelet (if it has one), we recommend that you clean it regularly using a soft brush and slightly soapy water.
After this operation or any dip in seawater, it must be rinsed under running water and dried using a non-abrasive cloth. You may also use the "Piaget cleaning kit" specially designed for this purpose.
We also advise that you have the water resistance of your watch checked every two years by an authorised Piaget dealer.

Quartz Movement
A genuine pioneer of this technology, whose achievements include creating the world's thinnest quartz movement in 1976, Piaget has pursued its efforts to push back the boundaries of excellence ever since. Building on its broad experience in the conception and production of mechanical movements, Piaget has made a noteworthy contribution to the development of quartz movements.
Piaget quartz movements are entirely developed and produced in the Manufacture Piaget. To ensure optimal user-friendliness every day, they combine precision and an autonomy of several years.
These movements feature the finishing touches that are inherent to the Manufacture Piaget: circular "Côtes de Genève", circular-grained main plates, bevelled and drawn bridges and blued screws.
