Question 1

Why do the sub-dials of the chronograph not move?

Accepted Answer

The sub-dials of your Hugo Boss Chronograph 1513318 (the seconds and minutes dials of the chrono) only move when the chronograph is activated. If you see no movement, here’s how to start them:

Essential prerequisites: Make sure the crown is properly pushed in position 1 (normal position against the case). The hands of the chronograph must be at the 60 (zero) position before starting. It is normal if they do not move until you press the button.

To use the chronograph:

Button A (top): press once to start the chronograph. The hands of the sub-dials should start moving immediately.
Button A: press again to stop the chrono.
Button B (bottom): press to reset the dials to zero after each measurement.

If no movement appears after pressing button A: First, check that the crown is still pushed in position 1. Try pressing button A more firmly and for a longer duration. If the dials remain completely still, the battery is likely dead. It should be replaced by an authorized Hugo Boss watchmaker (approximately every 2 to 3 years for a chronograph watch).

Important: Do not use the chronograph between 9 PM and 3 AM to avoid disrupting the date change mechanism. If you have taken the watch to a watchmaker for a battery change, a desynchronization of the dials is possible: you can resynchronize them by pulling the crown to position 2 and pressing button A to manually adjust each chronograph hand, then pushing the crown back in position 1 once finished.
