I. PRINCIPAL WATCH FUNCTIONS AND COMPLICATIONS

POWER RESERVE A hand indicates how much of the watch’s power supply remains (for both self-winding and hand-wound watches). DUAL TIME A watch equipped with a dual time complication is able to indicate a “2

time zone”. This second time can be read on a central hand or a hand located in a dial graduated from 1 to 24. In practice, the main hour hand is typically set to the local time of where one is during one’s travels, and the time of the second time zone can specify the time where one lives, for example. CHRONOGRAPH A chronograph is a watch which can measure a period of elapsed time. A chronograph model generally also contains a central seconds hand for counting seconds, a counter for totaling minutes and another for totaling hours. FLYBACK The flyback function means exactly what it says, to “fly backward”: it allows the wearer to move from one chronograph reading to another in a single button push instead of three. TACHYMETER Scale used to measure average speed in km/h based on the time needed to traverse 1000 m. For example, to measure your average speed while driving, start the chronograph at a roadside mile marker, then stop it exactly 1 km farther on (next mile marker). The seconds hand uses the tachymeter scale to indicate your average speed in km/h for the kilometer you just traveled. TELEMETER Scale used to measure the distance separating an observer from a phenomenon which is rst visible and then audible. Its graduation is based on the speed of sound (343 m/s). For example, to determine a storm’s distance from the wearer, start the chronograph at the rst appearance of lightning ; then stop it when the thunder can be heard. Look at the dial of your watch, the seconds hand uses the “telemetric scale” to indicate the distance separating you from the place where the lightning occurred. MOON PHASE Watches with a moon-phase complication display the cycles of the moon on their dial (rst quarter, full moon…). Moon phases are generally displayed using a moving disk which makes one rotation every lunar month (29 and one half day).4

Русский Ελληνικά English ANNUAL CALENDAR Annual calendar is a movement function which handles the difference between 30 and 31-day months automatically, without a manual date adjustment. Only one adjustment per year is needed, at the end of February. COMPLETE CALENDAR The full calendar is the term used to describe a watch that indicates:

The date (manual date adjustment for each month of less than 31 days)

The month of the year PERPETUAL CALENDAR A perpetual calendar is a horological complication that takes account of leap years and ensures automatic date correction whatever the number of days in a month (28, 29, 30 or 31). Kindly note that it requires one correction per century, since century years are not leap years. This means that a current perpetual calendar model will need no adjustment until 2100. This complication is generally combined with “Complete calendar” and “Moon-phase complications”. WORLDTIMER Worldtimer watches, also called “world time” or “universal time”, indicate, in addition to local time, the time of the 24 time zones around the world via a 24-hour disc to index to the 24 cities indicated on the dial. This makes it possible to identify the 24 zones in which cities are found. At any time, you can find out the time in 24 major cities (representing each time zone) while viewing the time of the city where you live or are traveling. RETROGRADE DISPLAY A display is considered retrograde when one of the hands (the retrograde hand) moves backward after having reached its nal mark.

II. MECHANICAL WATCHES

A. GENERAL INFORMATION

WATCH PRECISION A mechanical movement, whether manual or automatic (self- winding), is a complex assembly of gears, gear trains and other components often not much bigger than a single strand of hair. A watch’s precision is determined by the spiral balance wheel, the heart of the watch, which regulates the rate of time through its oscillations. Oscillation frequency varies depending on the model and can be anywhere between 3 and 4 hz, it is therefore important to bear in mind that, despite the great care taken in assembling your watch and its movement, it is nevertheless not as precise as a quartz watch, with an oscillation of 32,000 hz. Further, rate variations may still occur, caused by a variety of factors, including impact, the aging of the oils, signicant temperature uctuations, magnetic elds and wearer activity. In general and depending on the model, your watch time may vary by 1 to 2 minutes per week.

This guide explains all the functions available for different Baume & Mercier watch models. To adjust your watch, please identify its icon

, and refer to the diagram located on the inside cover of this guide, then follow the directions corresponding to your model. Note on screw-down crowns: Your Baume & Mercier watch may come with a screw-down crown. If so, you must rst unlock the screw-down crown by turning it counter-clockwise before adjusting the date or the time or winding the watch. Once you have nished adjusting your watch, press lightly on the crown while turning gently clockwise, tightening it down again until you feel some resistance. If the crown is not correctly screwed- down, your watch may no longer be completely water-resistant. WINDING Hand-wound mechanical watch

Warning: Do not turn beyond its pre-determined blocking point,

otherwise you may damage the movement.6

Русский Ελληνικά English Crown in Position 1: turn crown clockwise. The watch is fully wound when the crown can no longer be turned. The power reserve of a mechanical watch varies, depending on the model, between approximately 40 and 90 hours

We recommend you wind it once a day if it has a power reserve less than 48 hours. Self-winding mechanical watch A watch equipped with an automatic winding mechanism automatically winds itself throughout the day as you move your wrist. Because of this, the watchband must be correctly fitted to the wearer’s wrist. If the watchband is too loose, the watch may not wind itself correctly. For optimal winding, wear your watch daily. If you have not worn your watch for more than 40 hours, you must wind it manually by turning the crown in Position 1, clockwise, between 20 and 30 turns. After wearing your watch for several hours, depending on your activity level, the watch will be perfectly wound. Once completely wound, your watch has a power reserve of:

For models with a power reserve indicator, the hand (L) indicates, on a scale which may vary per model, the amount of time remaining until the watch must be wound again. When the watch is entirely wound, the indicator sits at its maximum position.

A quartz watch is powered by a battery which generally lasts between 2 to 6 years depending on the model. The majority of our quartz watches, having a central seconds hand, come equipped with a system to indicate a low battery (EOL – End of Life). Approximately two weeks before the battery will stop, the central seconds hand will begin to jump every four seconds as a signal to the wearer that the battery must be changed. Batteries must be changed by an authorized Baume & Mercier retailer or After-Sales Service Center to insure that the battery and any other maintenance meet Baume & Mercier’s standards. Respecting this requirement is imperative in connection with the International Warranty. COLLECTION AND TREATMENT OF END OF LIFE QUARTZ WATCHES* Quartz watches contain a battery as well as other electronic components. When your watch is serviced, your authorized Baume & Mercier retailer or After-Sales Service Center will take care of storing and disposing of these components in compliance with current laws. This symbol indicates that this product should not be disposed with household waste. It has to be returned to a local authorized collection system. By following this procedure you will contribute to the protection of the environment and human health. The recycling of the materials will help to conserve natural resources. *Valid in EU member states and in any countries with corresponding legislation. Note: Since 2011, all batteries used in Baume&Mercier watches are mercury-free.

PRECISION OF A QUARTZ WATCH

Quartz watches are extremely precise. This is due to the high frequency of their vibrations (32 kHz). Their precision (fast or slow) deviates by approximately 1 minute per year.14

IV. RECOMMENDATIONS AND CARE

Your Baume & Mercier watch was both designed and manufactured with great care. It contains a great number of very delicate components, which is why we encourage you to be careful, avoid any impact to the watch, avoid any erroneous adjustments, and protect it from impact and extreme temperature variations. Furthermore, a watch is something rare in that it works continuously, 24 hours a day. For optimal reliability and for the longevity of your watch, we recommend having your watch serviced every 3 to 5 years.

BAUME & MERCIER AUTHORIZED AFTER-SALES

SERVICE CENTERS Baume & Mercier watches are maintained by an international network of After-Sales Service Centers which meet the highest quality requirements of Swiss watchmaking. Approved through a demanding selection process, only a Baume & Mercier authorized retailer or After-Sales Service Center is authorized to perform service on your watch. These centers undergo regular training provided by the brand, thus guaranteeing an irreproachable service quality by using specially- designed tools meant for repairing Baume & Mercier watches and by replacing worn parts with original components. Furthermore, tests are conducted using up-to-date and reliable quality controls. Any repair work not carried out by a Baume & Mercier authorized retailer or After-Sales Service Center will not be covered by the Baume & Mercier warranty. Also excluded from warranty coverage are watches not containing original Baume & Mercier parts. Furthermore, to safeguard your watch, please read the following recommendations for use and care:

MECHANICAL WATCH MAINTENANCE

In the event that your watch will not be worn for several months, we recommend you wind your mechanical watch regularly so that the oils do not seize, thus disrupting proper functioning of the movement. WATER-RESISTANCE Baume & Mercier watches are water-resistant up to at least 30 meters. If a model’s water-resistance goes beyond 30 meters, the depth is indicated on the back of the case. When a watch is water-resistant its movement is protected from dust, humidity and any risk of damage caused by immersion. As such, your watch is water-resistant in all usual circumstances of daily life, be it in the rain, in the shower or while swimming. However, you should avoid subjecting your watch to high pressure water jets (such as those produced by car or garden cleaning appliances, for example) and also protect it from knocks that may occur during the practice of intense water sports (jet ski, …).18

Русский Ελληνικά English The water-resistance of a watch comes from its joints. Because these joints are exposed to different types of external stress (cosmetics, perspiration, temperature changes), your watch may become less water-resistant with time. As a consequence, we recommend you have your watch checked every 12 to 24 months to guarantee it remains fully water-resistant.

Warning: When your watch is submerged in water, do not pull

on the crown or press any of the pushbuttons to adjust the date, the hour or any other function because water may enter the case. If you notice any condensation inside your watch, you must take it immediately to an authorized Baume & Mercier retailer or After- Sales Service Center. MAGNETIC FIELDS Our environment experiences increasing levels of disturbances caused by magnetic sources. These disturbances may affect the proper functioning of your watch, whether quartz or mechanical. A quartz watch may be affected by a strong magnetic field. However, once the watch is no longer in the magnetic field, it will quickly resume proper functioning. The disturbance will only last as long as the watch is within the magnetic field. A mechanical watch is also sensitive to strong magnetic elds. In certain cases, a disturbance may magnetize the steel components inside the movement, especially the spiral spring. Certain components could become attracted to one another causing the watch to suddenly jump forward and then stop. If this happens, the watch needs to be demagnetized by an authorized Baume & Mercier retailer or After-Sales Service Center. DAY-TO-DAY CARE Metal case and bracelet To preserve the brilliance of both your watch and its metal bracelet, if necessary, we recommend you brush it gently using a soft brush (a soft toothbrush, for example) and warm soapy water. When you have nished, rinse it carefully with fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth. The same cleaning is recommended after swimming with your watch in the ocean or a swimming pool. Before cleaning your watch, make certain that the crown is tightly closed (pressed or screwed-down, depending on the model). Leather strap The life span of a leather strap depends on how often it is worn and under what conditions. To protect your leather strap for as long as possible, we recommend you keep it away from water, humidity, oils and cosmetics, and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Rubber strap The life span of a rubber strap depends on how often it is worn and under what conditions. To conserve your rubber strap for as long as possible, we recommend you keep it away from oils and cosmetics and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Furthermore, you may clean your rubber strap with soapy water. Not e : We recommend you have your metal, leather, or rubber strap changed by an authorized Baume & Mercier retailer. The retailer will be able to offer you an array of straps perfectly suited to your watch. Mother-of-pearl Baume & Mercier recommends cleaning it gently with either a soft dry cloth or clear water. Let the watch dry completely before storing. It is best not to combine mother-of-pearl with perfume or body lotion, which can be detrimental to its iridescent reections. Therefore, always wait approximately 10 minutes between applying perfume/body lotion and putting your watch on. Your mother-of-pearl adorned watch will be safer when stored in a soft cotton bag. Chemicals Avoid direct contact with any solvents, detergents, perfumes or cosmetic products which may damage the bracelet, the case or the joints.20
