How to Wind and Set an Automatic (or Mechanical) Wristwatch - Watch and Learn #12
Back to Basics! In today's video, we will discuss how to wind and set automatic or mechanical watches, and how to set the day and date. Winding and setting a watch starts with knowing if you have an automatic or a mechanical hand wind watch. From there, learning how to deploy the crown, then set the time is covered, as well as the day and date if equipped with a calendar mechanism.
Lastly, we will discuss how to wind your watch for optimal use, then get into some more interesting details, like demonstrating how you can wind an automatic watch forever and the spring will never overwind.
This video is aimed at the novice just starting out, but we are fairly certain even the seasoned collector will learn a thing or two.

*** - at 6:45 you will see a note about not setting the day or date between the hours of 9pm to 3am. This was an oversight and should have been discussed in the video. During this timeframe, the date change mechanism is engaging, and if you force change the day or date you can end up damaging the date change mechanism, resulting in repair. Thus, never change the day or date on any watch from 9pm to 3am.
