Joseph LaToure User Manual

Thank you for choosing a Joseph LaToure timepiece. This manual will guide you through understanding how your watch works, how to set the time and date, and how to adjust the bracelet for a perfect fit. Our watches are powered by reliable automatic movements, known for accuracy, durability, and ease of use.

​

How Your Watch works

Your Joseph LaToure watch uses a Japanese automatic movement, which is powered by motion rather than a battery. As you wear the watch, the movement of your wrist winds the internal mechanism. The watch can also be manually wound by turning the crown when it is in its normal position. When fully wound, the watch typically runs for approximately 41 hours without being worn.

​

​

Crown Positions Explained

Your watch crown has three positions:

• Position 0 (Pushed/Screwed In): Normal position for wearing the watch and manual winding.

• Position 1 (Pulled Out One Click): Used to adjust the date.

• Position 2 (Pulled Out Two Clicks): Used to set the time.

How to Wind the Watch

1. Make sure the crown is fully pushed in (Position 0).

2. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 20–30 times (Should hear suttle ticks).

3. The watch will now be wound and ready to wear.

Wearing the watch regularly will keep it powered automatically.

How to Set the Date

1. Gently pull the crown out to Position 1.

2. Turn the crown clockwise until the correct date appears in the date window.

3. Push the crown back in to Position 0 once the date is set.

Important: Do not change the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this can damage the movement.

How to Set the Time

1. Pull the crown out to Position 2.

2. Turn the crown to set the correct time.

3. Make sure the time is set correctly for AM or PM by advancing past 12 if needed.

4. Push the crown back in fully to Position 0.

How to Remove or Add Bracelet Links

To ensure a comfortable fit, you may need to remove or add links to your watch bracelet.

​

What You will need:

- You received a 1.4mm screw driver for removing bracelet screws on your timepiece

- You will also need a soft surface to protect your watch (you can use the microfiber cloth if needed)​

​

Step-by-Step Instructions:

​

  1. Place the watch on it's side or face-down on a soft surface.

  2. Locate the small screws on the side of the bracelet links, theses are the screws you will be removing.

  3. Use the link removal tool to gently unscrew each link necessary, then carefully pull the screw out from the chamber. (If unscrewed) 

  4. Remove the desired number of links from each side of the bracelet for an even fit.

  5. Reconnect the bracelet by aligning the links and reinserting the pin in the opposite direction of the arrow.

  6. Screw the screw into the chamber until it is secured (try not to screw the screws in too hard as it can strip them)

If you are unsure, we recommend sending the watch back to our team so we can ensure a clean adjustment.
