Non-technical observations
In Response To: Cal 11 / 12 winding question ()

Craig-I notice a lot of variation between the 12s (I do not own an 11) and the 15s in terms of how much shaking it takes to power them up. Based on a highly unscientific sample, it seems the 15s are easier to get going and keep going, while sometimes with the 12s I look down after an hour and the watch did not get enough oscillation (despite vigorous shaking when first put on) to get it started.
