I found my father's hmt chetan watch which was lying for 5 years unused, after seeing this I winded it, and to my surprise it works! HMT's are made to last.

Really appreciate the efforts you have put into the topic . I have been wondering on how to do a healthy winding . This video explains it simply and wonderfully . I just purchased my first watch “HMT KOHINOOR MAROON” . Its a wonderful piece of art .

I've just bought three of these watches (one is for a friend) and so, far, I'm very pleased with them. I refer to them as "real watches" and I find the winding of the timepiece somewhat therapeutic and satisfying. I doubt I've ever gotten two days out of a full-wind but that's not really much of a bother to me. As I hate large watches (the types that feel heavy and oversized) I also love the dimensions of the HMT watch, just right for my wrist. Thank you for your video.

You should be able to wind your watch gently until you feel it stop, especially with Russian watches they are designed to be able to do this I have two Raketa's one new old stock from the late 80's and a very loved and used but serviced and cared for one from about 1975 I wind each until stop every night gently.

While you are winding the crown, at one point in time , you feel the tension of the spring on your fingers , the refusal to accept the winding stage......it means the spring inside has fully wounded enough and we have to stop at there, take out our fingers from the crown.
