That does sound odd...
Hello blenny 100
Does your wife's watch have a power reserve indicator?
If yes, when you took it off the automatic winder did it appear to have a full wind?
When the mainspring in a watch runs down, or has a low power reserve. The watch will run fast, because of a lack of motion/or low amplitude of the balance wheel.
Although, I have no personal experience with this particular model of Breguet, it maybe possible that the Autowind mechanism may require more than just a slow gentle turning to wind the mainspring. When a watch is worn on the wrist, it receives more energetic movement than automatic winders are designed to do.
Just a thought.
Kind regards

Potentially the magnetic field emitted by the (working) watch winder could have affected the timekeeping of your wife's watch. I am doubtful that the statement by the technician is correct.

Spoke to Breguet
Well, I spoke to a senior member of the staff at the outlet. Far more knowledgable, and much more helpful. He indicated that the Reine de Naples has an off-centered balance and uses a uni-directional (counter-clockwise) winding motion. It requires at leas...
