So I bought a Quartz Cartier Ballon Bleu for the girlfriend from Stan. However I either can not figure out how to get it going or something is wrong since it is not working at all? I just assumed there was no battery in it when I first got it but just realized there is after talking to Stan and opening up the case so what am I missing?

Try a new battery

Who knows how long it was sitting with the current cell in it.

The crown is pushed in ?

Also make sure there was no little plastic thingy preventing the crown from being push all the way in

I got one trick you can try, ive used it sucessfully a couple times to jump start a quartz movement.....

Get a strong magnet, and place it on the crystal, and move it in a circular clockwise direction.

I dont know how or why it works, but sometimes it does



OBVIOUSLY NEVER TRY THIS ON A MECHANICAL MOVEMENT !!!!
