@geolabuk thank you alot for the advice :)
-
I wear a pocket watch on my waistcoat every day. Love them, I have quite a few.My old Graves winds just 10 turns, but my newere Jean Pierre winds abut 50 turns.
-
I wear a pocket watch every day. A good watch that has been serviced should take at least a dozen turns. If it takes less than 12, it's either a really small watch, or there's something wrong. Larger watches can take 15 or more turns.
-
Thanks for the info now I should be fine for the next four and half days or so.
-
Usually 19 to 25 times should be good enough - just be more careful after 18 winds so you can feel when it is fully wound.

I need a little help I have an old 1970's, early 1980's Westclox "The Kentuckian" pocket watch, I wound it a few times, (3-4 times) and it worked beautifully but I want to know how many times to wind it. It's wound at the top, like your watch. thank you.

@1stPrsnTBaggers Pocket Watches are like mini clocks, as long as you don't drop them and wind gently, the only problem will be the balance wheel 'glueing' up. This makes the watch go slow and is caused by many years of fine dust collecting around the balance pins. If it is running ok now, it will last many many years.

Some pocket watches have had their mainspring repaired, not replaced. This makes the mainspring shorter by an inch or so and decreases its run time. A pocket watch should run for about 30 hours when fully wound, if it doesn't run for at least 24 hours, the mainspring has probably been shortened rather than replaced.
