INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
P01 Tourbillon
Pocket Watch
Thank you for your purchase. You have chosen a Hager watch; you are about to enter a
whole new world...Every piece cultivates its distinction, to assert its powerful and
incredible personality every time. Each Hager is designed with the same quality and
precision as any world-renowned watch, but for those who want a true timepiece that
is worth its value. According to Dr. George Daniels, one of the finest horologist who
ever lived, a pocket watch is more elegant than a wristwatch. The tourbillon remains one
of the main horological complications, and without doubt bears the mark of the most
talented master watchmakers. It is one of the most ingenious mechanical inventions in
watchmaking history. Abraham-Louis Breguet patented the first tourbillon escapement
system in 1801. Breguet built the mechanism to improve pocket watch accuracy while
pocket watches sat in one position- in the gentleman’s pocket-the movement itself has
nothing to do with actual accuracy. The tourbillon is a mechanism designed to
compensate for most of the variations in rate that occur in the vertical positions, caused
by the effect of the Earth’s gravity. The balance and escapement are in a cage driven
around on its own axis, which completes one rotation per minute. Besides its technical
function, the tourbillon provides visual appeal, through its rotating cage, thanks to its
aesthetics and to the beauty of the workings of its escapement. Hager is revisiting
tourbillon watches in its own fashion, in a modern and contemporary re-interpretation,
while upholding respect for watchmaking tradition.
This movement (calibre) is produced exclusively for Hager by its manufacturing partner.
Each part of the movement is then assembled, regulated, and undergoes a series of final
checks in Hagerstown, MD, by the watchmakers of Maryland Watch Works. The
tourbillon is backed by a 3 year guarantee.

FUNCTIONS AND SETTINGS
Setting the time
Rotate your pocket watch to the side as
shown. Pull the crown out to position (B). If
the crown seems to meet resistance do not
force it (caused by the pin across the set lever
spring), simply wind the crown clockwise
about five times and then gently pull it out to
position B again. Never force anything on a
watch. You can now safely change the time
by turning the crown clockwise- avoid
turning counter-clockwise. After setting,
push the crown back to position (A).
Winding the watch
The P01 is manual timepiece, thus it is
important to keep your pocket watch fully
wound if you want to enjoy maximum
power. Fully winding a manual watch won’t
damage it – unless you ignore the watch
resistance and keep winding it, which will
damage the escapement. If the crown seems
to stop very quickly (under one full turn), do
not force it.
If you won’t be wearing your watch for a few
days, keeping it fully wound will retain all
the watch settings.
If your watch has stopped, you can restart it
by simply turning the crown clockwise until
you meet resistance (A).
