Tourbillon
Horological definition:
A tourbillon is a mechanism which ensures the constant rotation of the balance wheel, the balance spring and the escapement while the movement is running. This is done to counter the effect of Earth's gravity and to improve the overall precision of a mechanical watch.

Reading the time
Manual winding
To wind your watch, turn the crown located at 3 o’clock. Beginning at position 0, rotate the crown clockwise approximately 30 times (do not use excessive force, and stop when you meet resistance).
If the crown is screwed down, you must first unscrew it before turning it clockwise to wind your watch.
Be sure to screw it back down to its initial position once your watch is fully wound to ensure water resistance.
Setting the time
Pull out the crown located at 3 o’clock from position 0 to position 1.
Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the hands until the correct time is displayed.
Once the time is set, push the crown back into its initial position.
If the crown is screwed down, you must first unscrew it before pulling it out to position 1 and setting the time.
Be sure to screw it back down to its initial position once the time is set to ensure water resistance.
Caution: Never set the time, adjust or pull out the crown(s) while the watch is underwater.
