winding problem for a 3227 ingenieur

i recently bought an ingenieur 3227 pre-owned, which i have sought for a long time and love the watch. after it ran down, however, shortly after taking it home, i had a difficult time getting it started again, although the jeweler was able to get it started when i took it in with a few magic waves of the watch. i let it run down again, and same difficulty getting it started. i gave it 20 gentle winds, then a few more, waved it around--still no starting. i took it in and left it with him, and he was able to get it going once it ran down. my jeweler says perhaps i overwound it and it bound up the mainspring, but i didn't think overwinding was possible. i'm wondering if there is something more serious the matter with the watch. thanks for any advice.

Hi there and welcome to this wonderful Forum.

I have an ingenieur 322701 too and when it runs down it also doesn't start ticking after winding it just like you describe. To get it running again is easy though, I hold the watch horizontally and give it a quick twist of about 90 degrees back and forth, just like quickly opening and closing the cover of a jar. I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Clemens

These watches both seem destined for a service visit. This cannot be normal activity.
