Setting the time and changing the battery

  
Setting the time
  1. Remove the clock insert by lifting it from the bronze clock body with a toothpick or a wooden stir stick from Starbucks or your favorite coffee house.
  2. Gently remove the gray rubber retainer gasket from the back of the insert.
  3. Slip your fingernail behind the time setting crown, and push it our just until it clicks.
  4. Set the current time, and push the crown back in the normal position.
  5. Replace the gray rubber retaining gasket.
  6. The white wax on the back of the insert keeps it nice and tight when it is replaced in the clock body. I recommend replacing the wax.
  7. Moisten the edge of the rubber gasket, and replace the insert with a "twisting-push" motion with your thumbs, and orient the face so 12 o'clock is at the top.
  8. Stir your coffee, sit back, and enjoy your desk clock.
Changing the battery 
Changing the battery requires some dexterity because the movements in these clocks are watch-type movements. You may want to have you jeweler replace it for you. 
  1. Remove the clock insert by lifting it from the bronze clock body with a toothpick or a wooden stir stick from Starbucks or your favorite coffee house.
  2. Gently remove the gray rubber retainer gasket from the back of the insert.
  3. Locate the small notch in the back of the clock case and gently lift the rear bezel with a straight pin or an eyeglass screwdriver.
  4. Look closely at the battery with a magnifying glass to see how it fits in the clock movement. Notice that the battery is held in place with a tiny metal spring.
  5. Pry the battery out from the outside edge with that little eyeglass screwdriver.
  6. Replace the battery, + side up, by slipping it under one edge of the metal spring, and then pushing the other edge down into place.
  7. Make sure the clock's second hand is moving, and push the rear bezel back in place.
  8. Set the proper time.
  9. Replace the gray rubber retaining gasket.
  10. The white wax on the back of the insert keeps it nice and tight when it is replaced in the clock body. I recommend replacing the wax.
  11. Moisten the edge of the rubber gasket, and replace the insert with a "twisting-pushing" motion with your thumbs, and orient the face so 12 o'clock is at the top.
  12. Put the magnifying glass and that little screwdriver away.
