Hi everyone, my girl friend recently got me a Trias Accapella and I would like to know how to hand wind the watch when I'm not wearing it. I don't want to ruin the watch since it's my first automatic watch and a gift from my girl friend.

Marc at Island Watch can answer that best, but typically, give it about 20 - 30 "winds" a day!

Not too familiar with the movement used in this watch, but it should wind clockwise and as its an auto should only take a few winds to get it moving. Let's see that bad boy. And of course, welcome to 3T!!

Welcome aboard 3T - the Accapella is a very cool skeletonized watch, even the rotor is. Did you get the II or III version? Best thing to do, imho, would be to get yourself a winder to keep it on when not on your wrist. And yes, lets see some pics when you can... hand6.gif

Thanks guys, I'll take a few pictures when I get around to it. Now I just need to look out for auto winder.
