⚠️ How to Use This Mechanical Timer (Important!)

This timer uses a clockwork spring mechanism – you must wind the spring first before setting your desired time. Here's how to time 5 minutes as an example:

1. Start with the dial at 0 (initial state).
2. Turn the dial clockwise all the way to 55 minutes – this winds the spring.
3. Then turn it counter-clockwise back to 5 minutes.
4. Wait – after 5 minutes, the timer will ring automatically!

Always wind to 55 minutes first, regardless of how much time you want to set. This step is essential to tension the spring correctly.
