What is an automatic watch?

For the watch lover who is fascinated by the operation of the authentic clock and the technology behind a watch, an automatic watch is often the ultimate choice. In contrast to a quartz watch, an automatic watch does not work on a battery, but on movement. The specific movement of the wrist ensures that the watch is supplied with the energy required to keep running. Replacing a battery is therefore not necessary with an automatic watch. This type of movement is very effective and is often used in more expensive watches. The automatic watch is paramount for many Swiss watch brands.

Because an automatic watch does not require a battery, you are basically assured of a working watch when it is moving enough. Nevertheless, the necessary precautions are also required for an automatic watch. As said, when you wear the watch, it is supplied with energy by the wrist movement. If you do not wear it, it is necessary to provide the watch with this movement in a different way. This is possible through the use of a watch winder. A watch winder mimics the movement of the wrist, so that your watch will continue to run even when you are not wearing it and will also remain protected against external influences.

A high-quality automatic watch is made by hand from a professional, using high-quality materials. This includes stainless steel, sapphire glass, fine leather, but also gold and carbon. Examples of brands with these types of watches are Tag Heuer, Laco and Fortis. Various watch brands also have models in the collection that offer a view of the movement (calibre) through a see-through bottom, such as Iron Annie, Epos and Junkers. This see-through bottom offers the possibility to view a piece of the special technology behind the operation of the watch. Certainly for the true enthusiast of added value in an automatic watch.
