There has never been a better time to buy your first automatic watch. Prices span from under $100 to over $10,000, movements have become more reliable than ever, and the information available to buyers is unprecedented.
What is an Automatic Watch?
An automatic watch is a mechanical timepiece that winds itself using the energy generated by your wrist's natural movement. A small semi-circular weight called a rotor swings freely, compressing the mainspring that powers the watch.
"A fine mechanical watch is the last handmade object most of us will ever carry. That alone makes it worth understanding."
