My three day old to me, 2 month old Parmigiani that just came in took a massive dump this morning. It was the outright strangest thing I have experienced with a watch yet. I pulled my car door closed and the rotor started spinning so violently that the watch head was wobbling on my hand to the extent that you would not be able to read, at a minimum, the date window, then nothing. The watch just stopped. I really wish I had time to grab my phone for a video, because I watching this in disbelieve - so crazy, so not happy.

My SA has already responded and we are "working it out." But still....

Something came loose.

I've had that happen with my Vacheron Overseas previously where the movement was unwinding itself. Wonder if it's something similar.

Yep, sounds like the main spring came loose.

Ha! So you're saying that's a feature? I see. It's a Limited Edition, very exclusive.

enjoythemusic · 14 September 2023, 02:13 AM

As a longtime software writer/coder, I can say with VERY high CONfidence...

It's a feature, not a bug.

This is exactly the reason one should have people who close the car door.

With a modern Rolls Royce, you simply press a button and the door closes
