question on power reserve

[Tools]

Some manufacturers are geared differently, especially those that do not have an active winding crown.

These watches will auto-wind faster, but the trade off is that they will rotate the mainspring in the barrel if they are always over-wound, essentially wearing out the mainspring barrel.

It's a trade-off in manufacturing and engineering design. All watch movements are not the same..

My 14060m (weekday watch) will wind up from zero PR to full PR on my wrist during one day out on site.

Other results may vary.

How do you know when it is fully wound up?

Not sure if it's in the booklet that comes with your watch, but I've always been told 40 turns of the crown.
Not 39.
Not 41.
40...... and it works just fine for me :)

I meant if you don't wind it.

When I take it off on Friday nights at around 4.30pm home time it will run until about 1.00pm Sunday.

On a full manual wind it runs for just over 45 hrs.

Of course it can wind up the watch to full power. That's why the watch has a slip clutch to prevent overwinding.
