An automatic watch is a mechanical watch that winds itself using the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist. This eliminates the need for manual winding, making it a convenient and reliable timepiece.
The automatic winding mechanism works by using a rotor, which is a small weight that moves freely within the watch. As the wearer’s wrist moves, the rotor spins, which in turn winds the mainspring. The mainspring is a coiled metal spring that provides the power to drive the watch’s movement.
