MANUAL WINDING WATCH(MWW) AND YOUR BEST FRIEND ON WINDING

these aids on manual winding or crown rotating setting for the wristwatch come in 4 sizes for the smallest ladies wristwatch to the mans wristwatch

the smallest starts at 2mm and goes up to 7mm diameter crown with parallel shoulders- in graduated sizes
they are operated by pressing the right hand sprung loaded plunger that will open up the jaws to go over the crown
they need to be kept inline and make the manual winding of the crown very easy and quicker to wind a manual wind watch
they can also be used on an automatic watch to get it started
they are precision swiss made with smooth action of the jaws
the manual wind watch now is vastly out numbered by automatic watches
if the brands were to give one of these as part of the new purchase of a watch, fitted in the watch box-as pointers do for setting on some models
then there would be a revival on the mww.
i much prefer a manual winding watch to an automatic and hope by making this operation easier
then mww will be greater in availability then they are now

Personally, I would never use one of those.

A significant part of why I so enjoy my manual wind watches is that very brief period when I interact with powering up the little engine. It is a special moment, and not the same with such a tool. The feeling in the fingers cannot be replaced, and I enjoy...
