First, locate the crown knob located inside the ring that attaches the watch to a chain. Be sure the crown knob is depressed (pulling the crown outward engages the gears which set the hands). Then, gently rotate the crown clockwise by rolling it between your thumb and forefinger. If you prefer, you may roll it in both directions, but be advised that you will double the wear on the crown mechanism.
Don't over-wind your watch. Give it five to eight twists twice a day. After a while, you'll develop a sense of when the spring is starting to accumulate tension, but don't wind it until it's fully tight or it will jam and you'll need a jeweler to release it. Better to just leave it run if you're unsure how tightly wound it is. If you have a skeleton Colibri watch, you can observe the mainspring winding from the outside of the barrel onto the center (driving) pin. Winding your watch less tight but more often decreases the pressure on the gears, increasing their accuracy and lifespan. Moreover, it's an enjoyable moment, a pause that reminds us of the passage of time and the beauty and ingenuity of the timepiece. If you choose a time each day when you're near a reference clock, you can make it a daily or twice-daily ritual that will ensure your timepiece is running properly, adequately powered, and true to the hour.
Enjoy your watch!
