 ETA 2824 (regardless of version; date or no date) can be handwound fully until the mainspring spins in the barrel (what some would mistakenly call a 'clutch')

How do you know its only effective for 2 to 4 turns?

I have a dumb question......Since my collection "stinks" and I only have one ETA 2824 I was wondering if this sounds correct. The Swiss ETA 2824 can only be hand wound 2-4 times (turns) then placed on wrist for further winding. Is this correct or is their a problem with the movement? Thanks!!
