Can magnets really damage a mechanical watch? Can changing the date around midnight destroy the date mechanism? Can you break a watch by winding it too much? And is setting the time while the watch is still on your wrist actually harmful? In this video, I put some of the most common watchmaking myths to the test and find out what really happens when you ignore the rules. The results were not always what I expected.
