FAQs

How do I secure the hands?

Troubleshooting
Hands are not moving after battery installation
Ensure the hands are not touching each other or the clock face, and verify that the plastic cap is not tightened too far, which may cause friction.
Mechanism does not fit through the clock face
Confirm your hole diameter is exactly 8 mm; if the hole is too small, carefully widen it before attempting to insert the shaft.
Incompatible hands
Verify the hands are authentic Artemio brand, as Rayher or third-party hands will not seat correctly on the shaft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the mechanism, insert the shaft through the pre-drilled hole in your clock face and secure it using the provided hardware. Ensure that you are using official Artemio hands, as the gear ratios and mounting points are not compatible with Rayher or other generic brands. For care, avoid exposing the mechanism to extreme moisture or direct heat, as this can affect the accuracy of the internal quartz components. If you need to clean the exterior of the clock face, use a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust from entering the mechanism housing.
