It's fun: open the crown guard lever, wind clockwise steadily until you feel the resistance ("the end") - then the spring is fully wound, close lever.

Depending on the movment you'll see 30-odd - 60 hrs. of power (some of the CN mvmts).

Enjoy! Oh, you can't overwind...

Well,
It is best to wind Your Movement on A set Hour Each day. I wind my 6497 Dialy 3 O'clock 15 times.
Many articles say You should Not wind A mechenical Movement Between 10 till 3 O'clock Depending on I'ts Complicatiaons Ofcourse.

I can wind my Gen Rolex Oyster more revolutions then My Cn 6497 while the Rollie has A much smaller (Automatic) movement.
