Therefore at this time of year, watch owners around the globe need to manually adjust their watch accordingly. From the humble Casio watch up to the heights of Rolex or Audemars Piguet, they will all need adjustment. This can be a nightmare for the luxury watch owner, as when the crown wheel is pulled from the watch to adjust or wind, the stem can quite easily snap. That's why owners of such watches have mechanical winders and never let the watch stop. Therefore, twice a year the mechanical watch owner ri
