Whoever that guy is, he's absolutely correct. It's not possible (or at least VERY hard) to overwind a watch. Or clock. What really happens is that...

I have come here to chew bubble-gum, and find bargains. And I'm all out of bubble-gum...
I'm undecided about what I want to do with the clock at the moment. I don't wanna touch anything in case I damage it. Other things I'm usually...
I have had a miniature French carriage-clock before (I sold it). This one just appeals to me more. I know it's not the best quality (one glance...
