Ingersoll’s Note on Automatic Movements
Automatic watches can be used only by those who are reasonably active as the automatic winding relies on a regular movement of the wrist. The watch must be given an initial manual wind of 8 to 10 turns and provided that it is worn on the wrist for a minimum of 8 hours each day it will continue to function indefinitely and may be taken off the wrist for a maximum period of 30 hours. If this period is exceeded the movement will stop and another manual wind will be necessary. It must be remembered that when worn in bed the movement of the wrist is insufficient to operate the automatic winding
In the Ingersoll manual, they state the following:
“Over wind of the spring may cause damage to the mainspring. Only wind the spring as far as it will go but not beyond.”
