What is an automatic self-winding watch?

  • An automatic self-winding watch is a mechanical timepiece that winds itself as you wear it, using the motion of your wrist to power the watch. This eliminates the need for batteries, making it a sustainable choice for watch enthusiasts. The intricate mechanism inside converts kinetic energy into potential energy, ensuring accurate timekeeping.

How does an automatic watch work?

  • Automatic watches feature a rotor that moves with the wearer's wrist, winding the mainspring and storing energy. This energy is then released gradually to power the watch's movement. If not worn for an extended period, the watch may need to be manually wound to keep it running.

What are the benefits of wearing an automatic watch?

  • Wearing an automatic watch offers several benefits, including the convenience of not needing batteries and the charm of traditional craftsmanship. They often have a longer lifespan than quartz watches when properly maintained, and many enthusiasts appreciate the intricate mechanics and artistry involved in their design.

Are automatic watches accurate?

  • While automatic watches are generally accurate, they may not be as precise as quartz watches, which can gain or lose a few seconds a day. The accuracy of an automatic watch can be influenced by factors such as the quality of the movement and how often it is worn. Regular servicing can help maintain optimal performance.

Can automatic watches be worn daily?

  • Yes, automatic watches are designed for daily wear and can withstand regular use. However, it's important to choose a model that suits your lifestyle, as some may be more durable or water-resistant than others. Wearing your watch consistently will keep it wound and functioning properly.

What should I do if my automatic watch stops working?

  • If your automatic watch stops, it may need to be manually wound by turning the crown. If it still doesn't work, it could require servicing or repairs. Regular maintenance is recommended to ensure longevity and proper function.
