Can you please explain the time left indicator dial, the expert said it tells you how much time is left on the watch before you have to wind it up, so the expert wound it up and the indicator went down not up, showing less time left on the watch before you had to wind it up again, the indicator went from 24 mark, which I assume means full, and went clockwise down, which I assume means less time left. I can't make sense of that at all, it seems to me it's working in reverse?

As an expert his description of the wind indicator has to be wrong. He states that is shows how much time is left before the watch will stop ticking. Yet, when he winds the watch the indicator goes down towards zero. I think it must indicate how long it has been since the watch was last wound. Thus zero would indicate that it had just been wound, and 24 would indicate that it needs winding again.

What a fine time piece.

this is legit rage inducing - ter-billion. my god.

I have a silver pocket watch made in London in around 1760, so 250 years old. Beautiful and still works but I have stopped winding it in fear of something breaking. Old pocket watches like that can still be cheap today despite the age, rarity etc as most people don't value things like that but prefer new stuff regardless how mass produced it may be, only the rarest of these watches has high value.

@jaylan9162

The cool thing about old watches, you can literally measure their value. With a very great certainty (not perfect ofc), the closer it keeps time, the greater it's value. And this thing rivals all, especially if moved around thru it's test. But even that isn't necessary. As the earth rotates, even a stationary watch is flipped around 360 every 24 hours, and this baby combats that!

Anyway seeing this should try to find online an episode of Only Fools and Horses. It was a comedy series on UK TV. The one I'm taking about is where Del's partner's father finds a missing Harrison watch in Del and Rodney's garage. They are small time traders of various items, often of "dubious" origin. Harrison entered the competition to provide a timepiece to accurately judge longitude at sea. The piece eventually goes to auction.

Just to nitpick some more: A winding indicator and a power reserve indicator are not interchangeable terms. A winding indicator will track the time passed since the watch was last wound. 0 will typically not represent a full wind, nor will (in this case) 24 represent a depleted mainspring. The display is meant to indicate an ideal wind for consistent amplitude and timekeeping, and not the overall power left in the mainspring.

Until this style of escapement was invented people had to live with watches that only had turmillion or turthousand escapements. These lesser complex escapements were powered by air instead of coiled springs. The "Wind" indicator is to pay homage to all the non-turbillion watches that came before it. The turbillion was invented by Abe Bengay, an very famous Oar-olojist.
