So I got my undecorated swiss from OFrei the other day. I decided to see what kind of reserve power it had.

at seven am on the 2nd of April I gave it a full wind. (the mov't is in a mov't holder with just the hour and minute hand installed). This is the mov't I stated that I put a tall cannon pin and hour wheel out of an asian movt.

Anyway it stopped running at 8:20ish this morning, so roughly 49.5 hours.

In this time, i had the movt sit with the hands pointing up, then upside down with the hands pointing down, on a 45 degree angle, at a ninty degree angle and at a 135 degree angle.

i kept a panny i had with a swiss movt next to it and the time was exactly the same, except the other panny died at six 40 in the morning.

I am actually pretty stoked about it.
