Automatic watches, also known as self-winding watches, are a marvel of modern watchmaking. Their popularity stems from their convenience and advanced mechanical design, allowing them to wind themselves using the wearer's natural wrist movements.

Mechanical watches run without batteries by converting stored energy in a coiled spring into precise, regulated motion via a gear train and escapement.

Winding a mechanical watch is a straightforward process, but it's essential to follow the steps carefully to avoid damaging the watch's movement and keep it working properly.

Mechanical watches are powered by a coiled mainspring and an intricate network of gears and an escapement, with two subtypes: manual winding watches, which require daily crown turns to tension the spring, and automatic watches (also called self-winding watches), which use a weighted rotor driven by wrist motion to wind the spring automatically.
