I found my father's hmt chetan watch which was lying for 5 years unused, after seeing this I winded it, and to my surprise it works! HMT's are made to last.
@@danishta4426 Would recommend trying to get it serviced, it might be a bit pricey but if it has sentimental value or you really just want it to work well, I feel it would be worth it
Really appreciate the efforts you have put into the topic . I have been wondering on how to do a healthy winding . This video explains it simply and wonderfully . I just purchased my first watch “HMT KOHINOOR MAROON” . Its a wonderful piece of art .
I've just bought three of these watches (one is for a friend) and so, far, I'm very pleased with them. I refer to them as "real watches" and I find the winding of the timepiece somewhat therapeutic and satisfying. I doubt I've ever gotten two days out of a full-wind but that's not really much of a bother to me. As I hate large watches (the types that feel heavy and oversized) I also love the dimensions of the HMT watch, just right for my wrist. Thank you for your video.
Thanks for a series of great treasures, Mr Pandey. I'm still new to this obsession, but have been lurking around f71 long enough to appreciate all the enthusiasm and great advice available. Thank you for sharing the love for Desh ki Dhadkan.
Thanks bhaiya . This video helped me after 5 years . I just bought hmt kohinoor and I can't even know how to wind it and I was like is this watch a defective product or I just wasted my money. But now after watching this video I learnt how toh wind it and my watch is working perfectly. Thanks .
You should be able to wind your watch gently until you feel it stop, especially with Russian watches they are designed to be able to do this I have two Raketa's one new old stock from the late 80's and a very loved and used but serviced and cared for one from about 1975 I wind each until stop every night gently.
Awesome video! I too just made a video on a comprehensive history of hmt watches and a discussion talk on hmt Janata Watch and I realised that one of the images in video is yours. I found it on Google. I hope you don't mind as your name is present on the image. Please do watch the video and share your view. It matters a lot. Let's grow the hmt watch community together!
Thank you very much for the video. I just got an HMT Jamata, and now I know how to wind it. All my other watches are either automatic winding or solar quartz. This HMT Janata is beautiful, and it’s a wonderful historical piece.
Thanks for this video. I've just ordered a HMT Jubilee. I've been eyeing it for a very long time ago so am very giddy for it to arrive. Had to look up winding and changing time. Thanks for the tutorial.
I just ordered a Janata and Pilot on the website ( my very first HMT watches btw) after a long patient wait and is very excited about it. Can you do a video on maintenance of these watches? By maintenance I mean, any DIY stuff that an amateur can do to prolong the lives of these watches?
Thank you for this video, i have a couple os automatic seiko's 5 and i just ordered on ebay a possible frankenwatch HMT Sona and let me say to you that HMT watches really look nice timepieces, i can't wait to have mine and start a HMT collection.
When setting the time, is it ok to wind the hands backwards for one hour or should they be wound forwards for eleven hours instead in this case? Thank you, this video was helpful for my first HMT watch!
Dear Sir,How the cannon pinion moves when the watch works?Both central wheel and cannon pinion are in a grip?OR because of Minute wheel,cannon pinion moves? Will the stem and other gears related to it move in the reverse when the watch works?Please enlighten me.
I just recently received my used Janata from India. So far I am amazed at the quality and accuracy of this watch. Although a used watch, it appears new. I just wish I would have found out about HMT watches years ago, however I still will be adding more HMT's to my collection. Great video, thank you.
My hmt stops running when worn on wrist but works fine when not worn and kept aside...also when winding the watch anti clockwise the seconds hand stops but starts once the time is set but the seconds hand does not stop when winding in clock wise direction... What could be the problem?
Edit: bought a demagnetizer and demagnetized the watch . It is running super accurate now. Old comment below: So looking at all these videos, I bought a hmt janata from the showroom in Bangalore. Big mistake, first one stopped in 2 days. Went back to showroom, they replaced it with new one without any questions. Now new one loses 10 minutes every 6 hours. I think I wasted my money. Now I realize why trains were always late in the 90s
One of my hmt tareeq is not working and the key is full nofurther movement of the key. How to release the watch and making to good condition. Pl. Note that there is no such mechanics for machine watch. Pl.do help. I am a Instrument Engineer. I hope i can understand mechanism. Tools also not available.

Prashant ji. Got a new Pilot and a Kohinoor recently. 1) The manual says to wind it anti-clockwise, but it feels like nothing is happening. 2) When I wind it clockwise, it kind of unwinds/rotates anti-clockwise automatically, a little bit. Is this natural? Thanks.
thank you very much for the video..i recently bought the same watch and have started using it..i found watch runs 5 to 10 mins slow by end of the day...is it because of improper winding..or real issue which i have to take to mechanic..suggestions pls..
Hi i recently bought a hmt watch.. I wound it in clockwise direction and stopped when it offered resistance.. Once it stopped ticking after about 15-16 hours I tried to wind it forward again but it offered resistance at the first wind so I hesitated to wind it further.. Please advise what do I do in such a situation.. Also can you tell how can I completely unwind the watch before winding it from scratch without resistance
Hey, I bought hmt Janta watch recently and i winded as you do in the watch. but the thing is it runs slow. whenever I set a time. after a couple of hours, it shows the wrong time. normally 5-6 mins different. can u tell me what cause this issue?
I've got one hmt kohinoor, but when I got it at first I've winded it 35 times, later that day it worked fine. After 2 days when I winded it do does well but there were a slight resistance and the crown turnes back. Next day same I winded a watch 10-12 times I feel the resistance and the crown turns back. I also observed the watch stops at some time even when it's winded. If anyone have knowledge about this please do help me with this. FYI this was said as an unsold stock 2020 model
I yesterday went to a watch store to check my hmt watch real or not. I already told the guy its fully winded he again winded it and machine was shaking now I don't hear winding sound and stem is bend. Now the watch is little inaccurate after running 4 to 5 hours. What just happened If anyone knows please reply.
Hey Prashant, keep up the good work, Can u also try and make a video on how to care for mechanical watches... ie how often do they need service.... how often should they be wound if not used regularly ... etc.... also is there a simple way to do basic service at home? Kindly let us know
While you are winding the crown, at one point in time , you feel the tension of the spring on your fingers , the refusal to accept the winding stage......it means the spring inside has fully wounded enough and we have to stop at there, take out our fingers from the crown.
Hello, hope you help me. I have a hmt yuvak hand winding watch. I can only wind it 8 times in clockwise direction. After that I feel a resistance. I'm afraid I'll break the watch if I wind after that. The power reserve is less than 24 hours. What am I supposed to do
