Hi, I wind my Tank MC everyday for 20 times but i noticed that if I don't wear it for more than 2 days in between, it will stop moving. Any idea why?! Thanks on advance. james

Is it an automatic or a manual winding movement?

The power reserve of your Tank MC is probably less than 48 hours which could explain why your watch stops after that length of time (of course if it is without any move or intervention (winding) from your side).

Or may be it needs a full service (lack of oils and greases). When was the last one?

and we bought it new in June. I think the stated power reserve is about 45 hours but the thing that puzzles me is that I have been winding all my watches everyday. Perhaps it has been sitting in the AD's for a while and needed a service.

the Cartier boutique is just two blocks from my office. I will just drop by and let them have a look see. Thanks again Alkiro.

The 1904MC movement has a good winding efficiency so you have a trouble.
i'm sure that everything will be fixed very quickly!
Thanks.

I will be sure to visit the boutique by this week.

they have a watch person there and he put it under a machine to test it. The watch is functioning fine. He suggested winding it 50 times when needed instead. I must say the service was excellent and timely. Also saw the Tortue in person, could be in trouble...james

Is that what it's call? My boutique contact explained that they have a machine that checks if the watch has been affected by the magnetic field, test for accuracy...now I know the name of the machine. Thanks Alkiro!!
