This Gotham Men's Silver-Tone 17 Jewel Mechanical Exhibition Pocket Watch (Model GWC14040S) is a classic and elegant timepiece designed for durability and precision. It features a sophisticated silver-tone case with intricate Roman numerals and a visible 17-jewel mechanical movement, showcased through scratch-resistant mineral crystals on both the front and back covers.

Configuración inicial

Upon receiving your Gotham pocket watch, it will require initial winding and time setting. As a mechanical timepiece, it operates without a battery, relying on manual winding.

  1. Enrolando o reloxo: To wind the watch, locate the crown at the top of the watch (opposite the chain attachment point). Turn the crown clockwise until you feel a slight resistance. Do not overwind, as this can damage the movement. A full wind typically provides power for approximately 36-48 hours. It is recommended to wind the watch daily at the same time to ensure consistent operation.
  2. Axuste da hora: Gently pull the crown outwards until you hear a small click. This engages the time-setting mechanism. Turn the crown in either direction to move the hands to the correct time. Once the time is set, push the crown back in firmly to re-engage the winding mechanism and start the watch.

Your Gotham pocket watch is designed for both functionality and aesthetic appeal, featuring exhibition covers that reveal its intricate mechanical movement.

The cover will spring open, revealing the watch face with Roman numerals and the visible mechanical gears. The back cover can be opened similarly to reveal the rear of the movement.
  • Lendo o tempo: The watch displays time using classic Roman numerals and distinct blue cobalt hour, minute, and seconds hands. The exhibition design allows you to observe the gears and springs in motion as the watch operates.
  • Attaching the Chain: Use the spring-ring attachment on the 15-inch curb link chain to secure the watch to a belt loop, vest buttonhole, or other suitable anchor point to prevent loss.
