The clock looks very elegant and the date display is beautiful but the setting is very difficult. The manual is not helpful because it does not address the specificity of the clock. The date is namely represented by two numbers. The first digit is by rotating the crown clockwise verstellt.Die second digit must be rotated in opposite directions. As the crown is very small and not corrugated, it is very difficult hinzubekommen rotation. I have relatively small hands, yet it was not handy. You have to turn very tight, so I had pain in the finger tip of the index finger by setting the date. In another review, it was reported that was broken off the crown. This is very easy to imagine. I sent back the clock once because despite all attention to design, each month this ordeal with the risk crashing the crown I wanted then not go yet.
