Serious Horological Question

I've been wondering this for a long time now. Most automatic mechanical watches have a power reserve of about 40 hours give or take.

Many mechanical hand wound movements (example a PAM111) have a power reserve of about 56 hours.

Why would a hand wound movement have about 16 hours more power in reserve to run the ebauche than an automatic?

Thanks
