HORAGE Tourbillon 1 Watch
Product Information:
The HORAGE Tourbillon 1 is a luxury watch that features a hand-wound movement. It has an hour hand, a minute hand, a second start indicator, and a seconds hand on the tourbillon cage. The watch is water-resistant to the maximum water pressure designated on the watch case. It comes with a black leather strap with black or red stitching that is held in place on your wrist with either a U-buckle or deployant buckle clasp.
Important Information
In order to guarantee the reliability of your HORAGE watch, it is recommended
to wind the watch first before it can run, and then again before the power
reserve is depleted.
Attention: In order to guarantee the reliability of your HORAGE watch, we
have created a short list of recommendations for you.
Your Tourbillon 1 has a hand-wound movement. This means it must be wound first
before it can run, and then again before the power reserve is depleted.
- The first step you should take is to fully wind the movement by turning the crown approximately 40 times in a clockwise direction.
- The energy from winding the watch is stored in the main spring located in the main barrel, and this reserve of energy is referred to as the power reserve.
- The Tourbillon 1 has a power reserve of over 5 days, or 120 hours. A fully wound watch will run longer than 5 days, however, the amplitude or consistency of the energy will reduce after 5 days, and therefore the precision of the watch could be impacted.
Useful Information
To ensure your watch remains water-resistant, always return the watch crown to the fully pushed-in position. Water resistance can be affected over time by impact shocks, chemical reactions with substances such as gasoline, adhesives, paints, cleaning sprays, etc.
-
The accuracy of the Tourbillon 1 is calculated within a 5-day operating timeframe and therefore to ensure your watch remains precise please be sure to wind the watch on or before the 5th day prior to it last being wound.
-
Although our movements utilize a silicon escapement that performs well in everyday magnetic fields. Strong magnetic forces can negatively impact a mechanical watch’s performance.
We recommend that you keep your Tourbillon 1 away from magnets, batteries, or devices that emit strong magnetic fields. -
The Tourbillon 1 is very reliable; however, as a precision mechanical watch with many moving parts, impacts such as dropping the watch should be avoided.
-
Excessive, continued turning of the crown can reduce the longevity of seals used for water re-sistance. If you frequently take your watch in the water, it is recommended to have its water resistance checked by your local watch service center every three years.
-
From time to time, you may feel a desire to clean your watch. Before doing so, please remove the strap as outlined in the operating instructions.
-
Ideally, use a small plastic or rubber bowl and fill it with warm water and some gentle hand-washing soap. Before placing the watch case in the warm water, be sure to check that the crown is in the pushed in and closed position.
-
Using a soft cotton cloth, you can gently clean the case. Once finished, rinse the case with fresh water and pat dry with a dry, soft cotton towel. Afterward, buff with a microfiber hand towel.

Product Usage Instructions
Wind the Watch
To wind the watch:
- The crown is located at 3 o’clock.
- To wind, keep the crown fully pushed in and turn it in a clockwise direction.
- Approximately 40 turns should be completed to ensure the watch is fully wound.
- A fully wound watch will run for over 5 days.
- The main barrel is fitted with an automatic clutch, which is a safety feature that prevents you from overwinding the watch.
- The mainspring, located between 12 and 1 o’clock, will com-press with each turn of the crown and can be referenced as a visual power reserve indicator.
- To ensure continued accuracy, please rewind the watch with-in 5 days of the original winding.
Although your watch can run longer than 5 days, amplitude begins to drop after the 5th day, and a drop in amplitude could reflect reduced timekeeping accuracy.
Setting the Time
To set the time:
- Unscrew the crown located at 3 o’clock.
- Gently pull out the crown to its first and only position.
- Turn the crown counterclockwise until the hands are positioned just after the desired time.
- Turn the crown clockwise back to the desired time.
- Push the crown back into its closed position.
Setting the Time with Stop Second Function
To set the time with stop second function:
- Pull the crown at 3 o’clock to its 1st and only position.
- Turn the crown until the hands are positioned a few minutes past your desired time.
- Very slowly turn the crown in a clockwise direction until the tourbillon cage located at 6 o’clock stops turning.
- Wait for the seconds you wish to align to are near the desired seconds position.
- When the desired seconds are reached quickly adjust hand to exact hour and minutes and push in crown to closed position.
Strap Adjustment
To adjust the strap:
- Open the deployant buckle clasp by pressing on the two pushers located on either side of the buckle.
- Pass the strap through the buckle and secure the buckle by placing the pin in one of the pin buckle holes on the strap end.
- Slip the watch over your wrist with the pin buckle firmly holding the strap in place.
- Fold the strap end over in the direction that brings the buckle into the closed position. You should hear a click when the buckle is securely closed.
- Repeat the above steps until you find the pin buckle position that most comfortably fits your wrist.
Strap removal
Please be sure to use only straps that have the same lug width as your
Tourbillon 1 strap.
- On the strap, there is a metal tab located on the underside of the strap nearest the lug..
- This tab allows you to compress the pin bar that extends to hold the strap in place in the lug holes.
- To remove the strap, simply press firmly down on the metal tab.
- Repeat the process with the other strap.
- To put a new Tourbillon 1 strap supplied by Horage on, sim-ply reverse the process.
