FAQs – Stirling Timepieces

Many of our watches utilise automatic movements . An automatic movement relies on kinetic energy generated by wrist movement to keep it ticking. A fully wound watch will have a power reserve that'll kick in for a period of inactivity.

To that end if you leave your watch on the side without any exposure to movement for an extended period of time it will eventually stop ticking. It can be restarted with a firm shake or the winding of the crown.

Pull the crown to the first click and turn the date to yesterday's date. Then pull the crown gently out to the 2nd click and turn the hands clockwise until the date window advances to today’s date. That’ll now be 12 o’clock midnight last night. Now you can advance the time to the correct reading moving through and past 12 o’clock if the current time is past midday. Finally, remember to push and screw the crown back in once the time is set correctly (an incorrectly secured crown can allow water to enter the watch).

The accuracy of your watch will depend on the movement used.

For watches with the NH35 movement, they are accurate to within -20~+40 seconds per day.

For watches with an SW200 movement, they are accurate to within +/-12 sec/day up to +/- 30 seconds per day.

For watches with a Ronda movement, they are accurate to within -10/+20 seconds per month.

Most movements will outperform their manufacturers guidelines but if your watch isn't within these tolerances please drop us an email.

If your watch is running fast, it could have become magnetised from a strong magnetic source. If you suspect this please get in touch with the Stirling team.
