Jaeger

So I bought a new reverso and it doesn't make a sound when I wind it like my other Jaegers do. Is this normal ? Thanks in advance.

If you've bought a hand wound Reverso then you probably won't hear it wind. If its an automatic you might just hear the rotor turning.

My DuoDate is silent and zero tension in the crown when I wind it.

The reversers hopefully, if the rotor spins when you're winding you might need to see a watchmaker.

My Grand Reverso Ultra Thin certainly makes noise when wound.
