Very weird winding behaviour on tudor bronze

[Bigblack]

So something very weird happened to day when i pulled out my tudor bronze, as usual it wasn't worn for a few days so i set the time and wound the watch and tightened the crown. Nothing happens so i pull out the crown and wind it up clockwise a little more and set the crown in again nothing no movement.

I gave it a shook and the seconds hands start moving now. Has this ever happened to anyone?

It happens to all watches, its the watch became fully unwound when the escapement is at a resting position. So when you wind up again, you need to give it a small jolt to get the balance spring and escapement moving again. Once the first impulse is done its going to run normally again.
