What is an automatic Swiss movement watch?

  • An automatic Swiss movement watch is a timepiece that winds itself through the motion of the wearer's wrist, utilizing a rotor that moves with movement. This self-winding mechanism is a hallmark of Swiss watchmaking, known for its precision and craftsmanship. Unlike quartz watches, they do not require batteries, making them a sustainable choice.

How do automatic watches work?

  • Automatic watches function through a series of gears and springs that are powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist. As the rotor spins, it winds the mainspring, which stores energy to keep the watch running. If not worn for an extended period, they may need to be manually wound to maintain accuracy.

Are automatic watches more accurate than quartz watches?

  • While automatic watches are known for their craftsmanship, quartz watches generally offer higher accuracy due to their electronic movement. Automatic watches can experience slight variations in timekeeping, but many enthusiasts appreciate the mechanical nature and artistry of automatic movements. The choice often comes down to personal preference and appreciation for watchmaking.

What are the benefits of owning an automatic watch?

  • Owning an automatic watch means you have a piece of engineering art that combines tradition with functionality. They are environmentally friendly since they do not require batteries, and many models can last a lifetime with proper care. Additionally, they often have a higher resale value due to their craftsmanship and heritage.

Can automatic watches be worn daily?

  • Yes, automatic watches are designed for daily wear and can withstand regular use. However, it's essential to choose a model that suits your lifestyle, especially if you engage in activities that may expose the watch to water or impact. Regular wear helps keep the movement lubricated and functioning optimally.

How do I maintain an automatic watch?

  • To maintain an automatic watch, it's advisable to wear it regularly to keep the movement wound. If not worn for a while, manual winding can help. Periodic servicing by a professional is recommended to ensure longevity and performance, typically every 3 to 5 years.
