How does an automatic watch work?
Every watch needs energy to function, and in an automatic watch, this energy comes from a combination of mechanical components. At the heart of the movement is the mainspring, which stores and gradually releases energy to drive the watch hands. The rotor, a freely spinning metal weight, moves when the wearer moves their wrist, automatically winding the mainspring.
To keep everything running smoothly, a small device carefully controls the energy release, and the balance wheel makes sure the timing stays spot-on. High-end automatic watches also incorporate synthetic jewels to reduce friction and extend durability. With the proper care, an automatic watch can last for decades, making it a timeless investment for luxury watch enthusiasts.
