If your watch loses or gains a few seconds per day (remember there are 86,400 seconds in 24 hours !), you can correct it without expert aid.

The rate of a watch varies slightly depending upon its position. Take it off at night and place it as follows:

1) To gain a few seconds

Lay the watch flat with the dial uppermost

2) To lose a few seconds

Lay the watch vertically with the winding-button downwards

3) To lose rather more seconds

Lay the watch vertically with the winding-button uppermost
