Automatic watches

Posted on 12 July 2022 at 2:35 PM

Despite the rise of the smartwatch, an authentic watch for the real enthusiast retains great appeal. Of course, a smartwatch offers various beautiful functions, but with a watch that is made by the hand of a skilled watchmaker, you wear a unique piece of jewelry on the wrist.

A watch is therefore an expression of character and personal taste. Of course there are many enthusiasts and even collectors of watches within this category, who each have their own preference in terms of appearance, technique and the type of timepiece. There are watches available with a quartz, mechanical or automatic movement.

A quartz watch is a watch that functions by means of a battery. The advantage is the punctuality of this timepiece and the fact that it is well resistant to shocks and impacts. A mechanical timepiece works by means of winding and an automatic timepiece is supplied with the necessary energy by means of movement. The watch with an automatic movement is preferred by many enthusiasts. This is because it expresses the working of the clock and the hand of the craftsman in its purest form. It is not without reason that there are many high-quality automatic watches on the market with a transparent backside. This ensures that the real enthusiast can see his automatic watch at work. This is definitely a fascinating sight.

As mentioned, an automatic watch is dependent on movement. Where the watch is supplied with the required energy by the natural movement of the wrist when the watch is worn, there is also a nice solution available for the moments when you are not wearing it. You can currently place your automatic watch in a watch winder, where it is still provided with the necessary movement. This is usually done through rotation. With a watch winder you also immediately have a safe storage place for your watch, so two birds with one stone! In our webshop we offer a wide range of top-quality automatic watches and the watch winders that are inextricably linked with them.
