The best time to wind a watch formed a topic of discussion at a recent meeting of the British Watch and Clock Makers' guild, in London, says "The Horological Review." Here is a serious scientific discussion on a subject that perhaps never receives the slightest thought from those who own and wind watches. Some members of the guild advanced the theory that the winding should be done at night, as in the morning the mainspring would be colder and more brittle than after the watch had been carried about all day. Another argument was in favor of winding a watch in the morning, because it could then better withstand the irregular conditions to which it was subjected while being carried about during the day.
