FAQs
What does 'automatic' mean for this watch?
An automatic watch is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. It doesn't require a battery, as an internal rotor winds the mainspring with your movements, storing energy to keep the watch running.
How often do I need to wear the watch?
For optimal performance, it's recommended to wear your Ingersoll 1892 The Jazz watch for at least 8-10 hours daily. If you don't wear it for a few days, it will stop and need to be manually wound or worn to restart.
Is this watch waterproof?
The specific water resistance rating for this model is not provided. To ensure longevity, it's best to avoid all contact with water, including showering, swimming, or heavy rain. Treat it as splash-resistant at best.
How do I set the time on my watch?
To set the time, pull the crown (the small knob on the side) out to its furthest position. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Once set, push the crown back in fully to restart the movement.
How should I care for the genuine black leather strap?
To care for the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight. Clean it gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth if needed, and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
What is the warranty period for this watch?
Info needed: Please refer to your purchase documentation or the official Ingersoll website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and retailer.
Troubleshooting
The watch has stopped working or is not keeping time.
As an automatic watch, it needs movement to power itself. Try wearing it consistently for at least 8-10 hours. If it's been unworn, manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise 20-30 times while it's in the closed position before wearing it.
The time is inaccurate (running fast or slow).
Automatic watches can be sensitive to strong magnetic fields or impact. Keep your watch away from magnets. If the inaccuracy persists, it may require professional servicing or demagnetization by a qualified watchmaker.
The leather strap feels stiff or is showing signs of wear.
Leather straps naturally soften with wear. To maintain its condition, avoid prolonged exposure to water and direct sunlight. You can gently clean it with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Consider professional conditioning if heavily worn, or replacement if severely damaged.

Initial Setup
Unpacking: Carefully remove the watch from its packaging.
Initial Winding (if stopped): If the watch has stopped, gently turn the crown clockwise about 20-30 times while it's in the pushed-in position (not pulled out) to give it an initial power reserve. You may feel a slight resistance or hear a faint winding sound.
Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to its outermost position. Rotate the crown to set the correct hour and minute. Push the crown back in fully to start the watch.
Compatibility

Product Care
Water Resistance: The specific water resistance rating for this model is not provided. To prevent damage, avoid exposing the watch to water, showers, swimming, or heavy rain.
Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth if necessary, then air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Avoiding Magnetic Fields: Keep your automatic watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, televisions, refrigerators, tablets, and smartphones) as magnetism can affect the movement's accuracy.
Leather Strap Care: Leather can degrade with prolonged exposure to sweat, water, and direct sunlight. To prolong its life, clean it periodically and allow it to breathe. Avoid excessive bending or creasing.
Storage: When not in use, store the watch in a cool, dry place, ideally in its original box or a watch case, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
