Vacheron Constantin

Hi,

I bought a VC 1921 last week. When I wind the watch, the seconds hand doesn’t start moving until I turn the watch to look at caseback OR take out and push the crown back. It doesn’t matter how many winding turns I have done on the crown, it seems as if the watch needs a slight movement/twist of the watch case itself to start once a sufficient power reserve has been achieved. This is unlike my other manual wind watches, few langes and a Journe, where the seconds hand starts moving after few winding turns of the crown.

The watch itself seems to be keeping good time.

Further, do I stop winding when the resistance starts increasing or am I supposed to reach a stage where the crown would stop moving?

Thank you for your response
