It always puzzled me. However, I have had several cheap quartz watches in recent years. They kept marvellous time of course, but all gained slightly, a few seconds a week. This was convenient because it was easy just to stop them for the necessary few seconds and then they were all right again. If they had been losing, it would have been slightly more laborious to put them right. It made me think that they had a built-in gain for that reason. Could anything like that apply to a clockwork watch? I had a Seamaster chronometer for many years - it always gained!
