Kendal and Dent Key wind pocket watch

[transporter]

Hi guys, quick question, I have just acquired this pocket watch to add to my collection once I’ve overhauled it with my unqualified skills. Now I can see it’s a key wind ( no dramas there ) but how do you set the time? 
thanks in advance

Hi you use the winding key on the square on the min hand actualy its the front of the canon pinion to be exact and manualy turn the hands round.

Some really old watches had holes in the crystal to access the square. Later on the square moved to the back, over the center wheel, when full plate watches went away.
