I can’t keep my watches going for 24 hours; yes that’s watches plural; I wind four every day.
Now a watch has a power reserve when fully wound, usually of about thirty hours – but not for me!
I take the watches to the horologist and ask for a service; they are returned and for about two days they work as they should & I wind once every morning. Then they stop in the night & if I don’t wind morning & night they stop.
ALL my watches, without exception, including a pocket watch. And yes I do wind them completely!
Now I have heard of those who cannot wear a quartz watch as something to do with their body’s electricity makes the watch stop but I have NO problem with a quartz watch.
Wind up clocks – no problem.
I have never owned an automatic wrist watch so have no idea if that would do the same thing.
Anybody out there who has the same problem/ has heard of this problem? My horologist is stumped.
I feel it must be something to do with me
Any ideas gratefully received
