Hi all of you,

I have just got my first automatic watch, a brand new one (Orient), and I have a very basic question : when we start that kind of watch for the first time, do we have to wind the spring to the maximum using the hand winding mecanism?

Thanks in advance!

There is no maximum that is detectable because the mainspring slips at some point while you are winding.  Feel free to wind it up a little bit until it starts running.  Then put it on and wear it.  Should be fine.
