Winding up a pocket watch

Pocket watches once were in common use. Every self-repectfing man should have one. To work properly, they had to be winded up everyday. Its ticking and winding up were the sounds everyone were familiar with. Nowadays it's a rare thing to find a pocket watch with a winding mechanism and its sounds are hardly familiar to younger generations.
