Is not a huge issue for me at all although it may seem like a challenging task initially. I wind Resonance with movement faced upwards and I always enjoy admiring it as I wind. With everything else that the Resonance represents, winding is the least of my concern, although I do understand that, to some it can be quite a problem. This piece is a real work of art. Best I advice I can give is to try one out in person, it can make all the difference, both ways. Good luck!
