I've recently acquired a Wolf Designs watchwinder from old my old boss, as we were chatting and I happened to mention that ever since driving an automatic car as daily drive my omega only just gets enough movement during the day to struggle through the night ........

anyway..... it's a nice looking bit of kit, but what do the knobs do.....

one is obviously the on/off switch which moves on one notch to "12" ... what is "12"

and the other is labelled "a" "b" & "c" ...... presumably programmes, but what is the difference between each ?


any help or knowledge would be appreciated ... I've had a quick look on the net, but not much info other then sales patter..... cheers

Actually, from the Wolf website:


What is the rationale behind the 12-hour start delay?
A 12-hour start delay provides a watch that's been recently worn, and consequently has a tensioned mainspring, the opportunity to release the stored energy within the mainspring.

What is the recommended setting: A (clockwise), B (counterclockwise), or C (bidirectional)?
Almost all automatic watches will receive energy on setting C (bidirectional), unless otherwise has been specified by your watch manufacturer.

Thanks for finding the answers in the frequently asked questions..... I had been looking for a user manual


as for asking my old boss ...... I might as well talk to the wall when it comes to things like that, he didn't even know how to turn it on when he gave it to me
