They do...
but I don’t do it. I’m not bothered about what second it is right now 🙂 My main interest in precision is on an intellectual level of “knowing” it is a well constructed movement and the assurance that the timing doesn’t drift if I wear it over a longer period of days/weeks.
I don’t know if it can cause damage (I will try to find out or someone can chime in) but it doesn’t feel right to me, when doing it.

Pseudo Hacking?
While doing endless research and reading about these beautiful watches I’ve just discovered they’re non hacking. Do they “pseudo hack” like many other non hacking watches do by exerting a little back pressure on the crown? How do you guys set the time ini...

The nice people at the FPJ Boutique in NYC assured me there was no harm to it.
Sometimes, I do it the way you guys do, though.

Exactly Christian!
All I've read says no damage will be caused, but I totally agree that it doesn't feel right, so I don't do it.
Thank you for chiming in.
welcome here 🙂 Wonderful with an other member whom caught the Journe bug! I’ve heard the same thing. As long as you don’t turn the hands backwards for several hours. But let me ask the manufacture next time I talk to them. Best Christian
This old chestnut.
During setting operation, the cannon pinion SLIPS on the center wheel pinion and the movement continues to run normally. Depending on the movement and variation in production some movements respond to a great or lesser degree to subtle 'braking' of the mo...
