Manual Winding Movement

[GadgetGuy]

It's ok to wind every monring. Once in a while, it is also good to let watch run down all the way till it stops, which is easy to do since we take turns wearing different watches

Since this is related to what I have intended to ask, may I seek TS' understanding to use this thread to ask this:

I was informed that for manual winding watches, you should not wind the watch when it is already wound and moving, say, for the past 24 hours already. You should instead, let the watch run till it's power diminished and start to wind fully again.

I am puzzled . Pl share. Tx.

Err. i wind my PAM every morning.....

A good manual watch should maintain it's accuracy and regulation till the last second. However, such manual watches require regular winding, not till the very last minute. As mentioned by previous guy, best to wind it every 1 to 2 days apart.

Different people have different opinions about manual watches. Some lovers enjoy the "moments to wind the watch", some lovers like myself, do not have the habit of wind watches regularly, thus I buy automatic instead of manual watches. It can be a "hassle" if you are always forgetful about winding watches, though such practice can be "cultivated".

Anyway, Panerai's manual watches are good. Do consider it if you like it. Once you own a piece, you will remember to wind it.

Won't be as accurate when it's near the end. Best to keep it wound. Base models usually have 56 hours power reserve, so wind it every 48 hours/2 days to maintain accuracy. Eg wind every 2nd morning before going to the office.

Or get a 8-day power reverse such as 233

thw winding process does not affect the time movement. winding provides more stored "energy" in the process.
