Mechanical watches with automatic winding, which use only wheels and springs to tell the time, are powered by the energy produced by the movements of your wrist. So, make sure your watch strap fits your wrist well, as a loss of autonomy is possible if it does not. Instead of the battery and the electrical circuit that make the hands turn at the right rhythm, it is a weight that turns as soon as the watch moves that provides energy to the mechanism and makes it turn. Ideally, your automatic watch should be worn daily to ensure the proper functioning of the movement. Wearing your watch regularly will prevent the oil in the movement from congealing. However, if your watch should stop after its autonomy period has expired, you must wind the crown manually: up and down about twenty times. This will restore the movement to its original function. Once the time is set, your watch is ready to be worn.
