When I go on vacation do I just let watches run down?
I guess some here just let their watches run down if they are not wearing them. I have some vacation time coming and in a wooded area where I will not bring watches. Should I give them to a shop and have them keep them wound on their elaborate winding equipment, or just let them rest until I get back?

Let them wind down. No need for a winder unless you have an annual calendar or PITA complication to set.

Leave food out for them
Unless you can get a watch sitter for them while you're away. They need emotional care as well while you're away.

Will a watch sitter wind my crown also when I need emotional care?
