That’s a good point, Jay. But I always wind with the strap on as I use an old style one w/o the quick release.

But even with a new style strap I‘d rather not take it off for winding. ZERO SNAP BACK method in combination with a piece of cloth as a „thumpguard“ maybe is the silver bullet for winding our Resonances?

I posted this as a reply to the “hand wound or automatic”-poll in the Horological Meandering-Forum. But, if you haven´t wound a Resonance, you probably don´t get the point… Above proudly showing my Resonance-Callus! Can a callused thumb be sufficient proo...
No worries! Winding this watch translates into joy, believe it or not...

Perhaps the 12 o'clock winding crown won't be there in the new Resonance next year, so it will be a unique experience for past and present Resonance pieces. Enjoy it while it lasts
The trick is to not let the crown snap back

After each turn. So say you hold the watch in the left hand and put your thumb on the crown on its right edge, and your index finger of the right hand on the back of the crown on the left. Then you turn by moving your thumb to the left and your index fing...
Reporting on the ZERO SNAP BACK WINDING TECHNIQUE

I have to say, this way of winding the Resonance not only sounds fancy, it seems to be more efficient indeed! As you stated, the point is not to let the crown snap back. In my observation, it took less time to achieve full power reserve. It’s merits with ...
Do you take the strap off to wind? I assume you do.

Funny, I don’t have as much an issue with mine (the strap always comes off to wind, which is easy with the quick release spring bars). Perhaps because mine is not a daily wearer I don’t run into this issue.
