What Is Automatic Winding? |
|
Answer» Also called self-winding, A mechanically powered watch that is wound by the motion of the wearer's arm rather than through turning the winding stem (manual mechanical). In response to this motion, a rotor turns and WINDS the watch's MAINSPRING. If an AUTOMATIC watch is not worn for a day or two, it will run down and need to be wound by hand to get it STARTED again.
