Automatic watches are the most unique and intricate kind of mechanical timepieces. All mechanical watches are driven by a spring (or mainspring), which powers the movement of gears and hands. With the spring’s loss of energy over time, users had to regularly wind it up to make sure the watch would not stop. Automatic (or self-winding) watches eliminate the need for the user to wind the watch, with a mechanism that winds the mainspring automatically. The weights in the watch’s mechanisms spin while the watch is worn and the user’s wrist is moving. Simply walking will keep an Automatic perpetually wound.
