Time, Powered by You
No battery. No winding ritual. Just the natural motion of your wrist keeping precise time, day after day. This automatic movement watch is for anyone who appreciates the engineering behind what they’re wearing. The exhibition case back lets you watch the mechanical heart in action — gears turning, springs tensing, the rotor spinning. It’s a conversation piece that happens to tell time.
Why Automatic
-
Self-Winding Movement
Your natural wrist motion winds the mainspring. No batteries to replace, no manual winding. Wear it, and it runs. Take it off, and it stops after 24 hours — 20 turns of the crown restart it.
-
Exhibition Case Back
The transparent back window lets you see the mechanism at work. Gears, springs, the oscillating rotor — it’s like wearing a miniature engine on your wrist.
-
Mineral Crystal Glass
Scratch-resistant crystal protects the dial from daily bumps and impacts. Clear, distortion-free viewing of your watch face in any light.
The Movement Behind the Glass
Flip the watch over and you’ll see why automatic movements have fascinated people for centuries. The oscillating rotor spins with your wrist motion, winding the mainspring that powers the entire mechanism. Dozens of tiny gears translate that stored energy into the precise sweep of the second hand. No batteries, no circuits — just physics and craftsmanship, visible through the exhibition window.
What People Are Saying
FAQ
Everything You Need to Know
How accurate is an automatic watch?
Automatic movements are accurate to within +/- 15-30 seconds per day, which is normal for mechanical watches. If precision to the second matters, a quartz watch is more suitable.
What happens if I don’t wear it for a few days?
The watch has a power reserve of approximately 24-36 hours. After that, it stops. Give the crown 20-30 clockwise turns to restart it, then set the time.
Is it water-resistant?
The watch is rated 3ATM — it handles splashes, handwashing, and light rain. It’s not designed for swimming, diving, or showering.
How do I set the time?
Pull the crown out one click and turn clockwise to set the time. Push the crown back in flush when done. Never turn the crown counterclockwise when setting.
Does it need servicing?
For best longevity, have the movement serviced every 3-5 years by a watchmaker. This involves cleaning, oiling, and adjusting the mechanism.
