Kinetics are capacitor based – the movement of the rotor will charge the capacitor, so just get it spinning with the watch in your hand.

If it doesn’t start after that, might need a new capacitor.

Tape it to a big drill bit, attach it to the chordless drill and tape the trigger so it turns very slowly so the rotor is moving every time the drill bit goes 360 degrees, should work
