- the microcontroller 8 determines the status data watchmaking characterizing a current adjustment of a mechanism relating to a watchmaking function such as the perpetual calendar.
- the status datum relates to the current date, day, month and year (and possibly to the current moon phase when the perpetual calendar mechanism includes an element of display of the moon phase, for example data relating to a geolocation, a hemisphere, a country code, etc.).
- This state datum is sufficient to represent a current state of adjustment of the perpetual calendar mechanism, in particular the position of the display elements of said mechanism.
- the microcontroller 8 then generates a signal comprising this watch status data item which is transmitted to the communication module 7.
- the communication module 7 of the watch 2 thus sends said status data item to the communications 12.
- the verification step 33 can provide a sub-step 36 for determining the watch status data from a process of reading a dial of the watch 2 performed by the electronic device 3 comprising the camera and of an optical recognition algorithm executed by the microcontroller 11 of the electronic device 3.

It may be, for example, information on a calendar as we have seen, but also information that may relate to a time zone, a country code, an alarm, a geolocation, a date, a tide, a sun and/or moon phase, a UTC time , etc...
- the method then comprises a step 38 of sending at least one adjustment instruction to the communication module 7 in the near field of the watch 2.

It is noted that to carry out the coding, it is advantageous to use a dedicated application installed on the electronic device 3. If the electronic device 3 is a smartphone or a touch pad, this application is advantageously capable of generating the coding from the date, day, month, year and geolocation data given by the electronic device 3 Subsequently, this adjustment instruction is then transmitted by the communication device 12 to the communication module 7 of the watch 2.
- the method then comprises a step 39 of processing said at least one instruction received by means of the microcontroller 8 of the watch 2, in order to generate adjustment parameters for the watch 2.
