I see your watch has a Seiko VD53 Quartz Chronograph Movement. Several possibilities come to mind - the watch may have a small plastic spacer under the crown which is there to stop the battery running flat before the watch is sold. If that's the case then simply remove the spacer and press the crown in. Possibly, the battery is flat and will need replacing, or you've received a faulty watch - either way (and I interpret your using the word 'received' as meaning that it was a gift to you) you should tactfully point this out to the giver. They wouldn't want to have wasted their money, and hopefully they've kept the receipt.
Movements become "dry" over time and must be serviced.
Another common problem we see is that there is oil or battery acid (from a previously leaking battery) inhibiting proper connection between the contacts and the battery.
The quartz and the circuit itself may also go bad on a movement at any time.
If it is under warranty, you may send it back directly to Lucien Piccard.
I recommend you visit your local Certified Master Horologist for what is usually a free diagnostic. They can test the battery, the connection, the movement, and usually repair, service, or replace the movement for you. They will also generally give a free estimate.

You have to wind the watch first. Pull out the crown (the knob on the right side of the watch) to the intermediate position (the winding position will not move the hands or the date so this is how you know that you are in the correct place. Most watches have 3 positions where you can set the date, time, and wind it) and wind the watch. It will need to be re-wound every 24-48 hours.
