Will fully admit my shortcoming as I never described the sound. But first, I've 'torture tested' this timepiece and she is rock solid. I've really come to appreciate the case and crown details too.
As for the sound, when hand-winding the crown clockwise slowly-ish makes a nice slightly deep solid clicking sound at ~500Hz and short resonance-ish, reminiscent of a medium-beefy vintage timepiece. If you turn the crown counter-clockwise you can get a lower 'note' with 'muted' resonance.
Now don't try this at home, but the musical notes are 'complimentary', if you're so inclined to play 'The Czapek Winding Crown Song'. I heard that Dre and Ye might co-produce the song with special guest A$AP.
That's two clicks clockwise, one anti, then a triplet clockwise, then one anti, then two at half-speed clockwise, pause, double anti with slight time drag... repeat. You know you got it right when the song 'bounces'.
Anyway....
Winding clockwise at Normal speed you can hear the metal bits doing their thing. There's a nice solid winding feel that's not overly resistant.
As viewed from the back, the rotor winds clockwise and 'fidget-spinners' with sound counter-clockwise.
Know I mentioned this previously, yet when setting the time there's no real slack or 'mechanical slop'. You know how some timepieces, when setting the time, the minute hand tends to overshoot, or 'push backward' once you release the drown. The Czapek is solid and neutral, neither pushing nor pulling the minute hand (without you wanting it to, hope that makes sense).
