Did you know how to wind a watch up correctly?

When your mechanical watch needs some more power… i.e. manually wind the watch “Wrist Watch Times” advises that the watch is taken off the wrist. Why is that you might ask?

If you leave it in the wrist then you could possibly create unnecessary strain on the stem of the watch. During my time in the watch industry i have often seen people physically force their finger under the stem to try and wind the watch often resulting in a broken stem.
