Chronograph Operation vs Winding/Unwinding

Hi Folks,

Apologize if this is repetitive question, but I just can not recall it by reading previous posts. AS is my first watch with Chronograph functions and certain details I am still unaware of. My question is: Does Chronograph operation influence winding/unwinding of the watch movement? Example: If you want to bring you watch to a complete stop and unwind it fully, will it unwind faster if you leave it to rest with Chronograph working? How is working Chronograph affected by a sudden stop of fully unwind watch movement? Additionally, if you are wearing your watch whole day long with Chronograph operating, will it wind less/slower due to operation of the Chronograph?

Thanks for you input.

Cheers,

If you run the chronograph, power reserve will be shorter.
Don't think that anything bad will happen if power reserve dies out while chronograph is working.

Correct on both counts - power reserve will be a little shorter with the chronograph running, and no harm will come to the movement if it stops whilst the chronograph is running.
