Wow, how wrong yall are.

There are three positions for the Carrera's push-down crown. The inner position is used for normal wear and winding. To wind the crown manually, simply rotate it clockwise.

Changing the date on the Carrera is done from the middle crown position. Turn the crown clockwise to advance the date, one day at a time. Push the crown back to the inner position when finished.

The outer crown position is used for setting the time. You can turn the crown in this position either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Adjust the time forward or backwards. Setting the time backwards will not damage the watch. When the time is correct, press the crown all the way into the inner position.

You do not have the ability to wind an automatic using the crown stem, as automatic means that the watch is a self winder. A small swing counter weight actually winds the watch as you move your arm back and forth. That counter weight is just weighty enough to fully wind the watch after so many swings of the arm, and will not wind past a point of the strength of the watch spring countering the swinging weight.

Tag carrera automatic stops at 12

It sounds like your Tag Carrera automatic watch may be experiencing an issue with the automatic winding mechanism. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Make sure that the watch is fully wound. If the watch is not fully wound, it may not have enough power to keep running.
  2. Check the balance wheel and pallet fork for any debris or obstruction that could be preventing the watch from running.
  3. Inspect the winding rotor for any signs of damage or malfunction. The winding rotor may need to be replaced if it is not functioning properly.
  4. Check the control panel for any error codes or messages that may indicate the cause of the issue.

Instruction manual

Tags have a screw down crown (winder knob) turn the knob counter clock-wise until you feel the crown unscrew (not off) then pull the crown carfully. It will pop once this is for date adjust. Then pull once more and you can now adjust the hands, set accordingly then push crown back in. After you push it back in gently compress the crown and tighten clockwise until it stops. CAUTION!!!!!!! Tags are not waterproof if the crown is not screwed back down. I hope this helps .

I have a Tag Heuer Grand Carrera. It worked perfectly for a year. But now, it doesnt work. When I shake the watch, it starts and then stops again after few minutes. I was told to wind it. But I dont know...

If your watch is "automatic" then would I be right in thinking you took it off for a few days and it stopped?

If this is the case (since most of the Carrera range are automatic, then the spring will have run down and needs re-winding.

You were correct in thinking that shaking it will re- start it but to keep it going you need to shake it gently from side to side for some time. (One supplier quoted 500 times!) be patient and keep wearing it.

I have a TAG HEUER Grand Carrera and the second has stopped

Are you aware that these are automatic watches and need to be moved to keep the watch going, kinetic energy winds up the movement which allows it to keep going, if it is left off your wrist and in a drawer or sat stationary it will stop. Shake it violently (without dropping it) and it will restart.

Tag heuer carrera automatic wv211a

Your watch is a automatic. All automatics need to wind-up before being worn at first , or if not worn all the time. Automatics will work with-out being wound ,but will not keep time. Wind your watch at least 50 turns (using the crown) or shake about 150 times , and then try it . Automatics need that back-up power to insure it's accuracy.
