Well, to say all, I'm against WatchWinders

 

I wear all my watches, not at the same time, as I'm already not VISHNU, but regularly, I change the watch I will wear, and I wind let's say at least once per month each of my watches, and it's ok like this.

I'm not very confident with the idea of having all the time a watch completely wound, due to a Watch Winder...

I'm not sure this is a good thing for the watch.

Therefore, I also think that accuracy has nothing ot see. with a Watch Winder..

Theorically, yes, the watches are set in several positions, but also in several heats...

Will you put your watch in the fridge, and after in the horn to be sure that it will be accurate? LOLOL.

Seriously, I have several JLC watches, and I have no problem of accuracy with them, wearing or not wearing them.

Best.

Nicolas

The logic behind putting a hand winding watch on an automatic watch winder.

I do not know if I am the only one guilty of what appears at first to be a most useless habit. A habit wherein I dutifully wind my hand winds and then, lo and behold, stick the poor souls on a winder along with my few automatic watches. I can almost hear ...

The argument for and against a watch winder use is probably as old as the day the watch...

winder was invented. But your statement about not necessarily winding a watch but every few weeks when you are ready to wear it is a reasonable one and probably cuts down on the wear and tear substantially. I am going to try and suppress my OCD compulsion...

if you are able to moderate a watch forum, in English, as well as you do, then clearly your ability in the English language is certainly NOT lacking in the least Regards,

The poor mans tourbillon?

 
By: AndrewD : July 31st, 2008-15:57
Hi Fouad, Interesting idea. Some say that A.-L. Breguet’s concept for the original tourbillon was to evenly distribute lubricants within the escapement, rather than cancelling out the effects of gravity which is the usual ‘primary benefit’ discussed. Alth...
