Watch Mainsprings
How do I keep a mechanical watch?
This may not be the best category, but it was as close as I could find. I have an old mechanical clock and wondered if I had the store with the spring fully recharged partially liquidated totally exhausted, or is there still a difference? I had a similar problem for the remaining coiled spring for a long time, but I was not sure if it was worse wear wise to let the wound spring or let it run for hours to relax.
I think you need to store with run completely down. This would take all the stress on the engine and other parts. Most jurisdictions take a "set" when they are left in the same position for a long time. That usually means they will not return to their normal position when you try to use them again.
