Not an horologist, but maybe you or others on this thread can give some advice.

Found this ladies watch yesterday going through old jewelry box of my grandmothers. I think it was my great-grandmothers. It’s lovely, but I’ve no idea how to wind it, if needs work or where to take it to be evaluated. Where should I start?

Close up of the face of a small ladies watch. The winding hole is visible on the upper outer edge and the face under the 12 says 
JEAN PERRET 
GENÈVE
The face is black with gold letters and numbers at the very bottom under the six in tiny letters it says SWISS MADE
Back of a small ladies watch on a chain with a clear crystal so the inner gears and workings are visible. The outer orange enamel is worn at the bottom near where the winding hole (not visible) is located. At the point where pins join some of the gears, are tiny ruby colored gaskets? Enamel?
A round watch with an orange enamel outer ring hanging from a silver chain with orange enamel elements shaped like long pointed end flattened cylinders. The watch is attached so that when hanging it would be upside down, but readable when lifted to one’s face.

@Melissabeartrix if digital clocks count, I made a few in HTML and CSS... although some of them are not too accurate github.com/alvaromontoro/CSS-C

Do you rip your USB stick out without "ejecting" it and wait till it's safe?

@Melissabeartrix actually, I eject and wait, and then I forget that it's still plugged into my hub, and MacOS automatically mounts it and I don't notice and then MacOS chastises me for not unmounting it. So both answers.

@Melissabeartrix No. I've only ever had it be an issue one time, but that issue led to days of work to correct.

Bear in mind, I worked in IT where I was doing this several times per day. It's probably even less likely to be an issue for the average user.
