Question about IM ceramic watch.

sparklestar — Sat, 16 Aug 2014 19:30:45 GMT

I purchased the black and white ceramic watch about a month ago and I just realized that when setting it the hands go in the opposite direction of all my other watches. When I turn the stem, the hands don't move clockwise -- they go backwards. If you own this watch, do you have the same experience? I'm just wondering if I should be concerned.

If this one is like the other Isaac watches, it has a screw down crown (stem). It's important that the crown be screwed down properly to keep out dirt and water. Try unscrewing the crown by turning it to the left as you face it; you should then be able to pull it all the way out and turn the hands either way. After you get it set, push the crown in while you screw it to the right until it's tight. You must screw and push in at the same time.

I understand that Kachina, but my question is when setting the time, why do the hands turn counter clockwise instead of clockwise as all my other watches do?

It sounds like your crown is in the wrong position and may be hindering the movement of the hands. That's why I suggested you unscrew then screw it in correctly.

I did do that.

Does anyone own this watch that can tell me if the hands (when setting the time and the stem is pulled out) move clockwise or counter clockwise?

Mine moves freely clockwise or counterclockwise.

Sorry, but everyone is trying to answer. Are you saying that when you turn the stem toward the top of the watch, the hands are going counter clockwise (from 12 to 9 instead of from 12-3)? Does your stem only turn toward the top of the watch, only toward the bottom of the watch or both ways but your watch hands only go backwards no matter which way you turn the stem?

Yes to your first question -- that's what I'm trying to explain. The stem turns in both directions and the hands will move both directions, but when setting all of the watches I own, the hands turn clockwise when I turn the stem toward the top of the watch. I just find it very unusual and was thinking maybe the watch was constructed incorrectly. I know, it's weird but I am just wondering if it's just my watch or all IM are like that. I own a couple of his other watches that are not ceramic and they are fine.

Because you weren't clear about it. The watch is fine.

Do you own the watch?
