A hand-wound mechanical movement is powered entirely by manual winding through the crown.

Unlike an automatic movement, a hand-wound watch does not contain a rotor and cannot generate energy from wrist movement. The mainspring must therefore be wound manually to store the energy required to operate the watch.

As the mainspring gradually releases this stored energy, it powers the movement and keeps the watch running.

When the power reserve is exhausted, the watch will stop and must be wound again before use.

Many enthusiasts appreciate hand-wound movements for their traditional construction, slimmer profile, and the direct interaction they provide between the wearer and the mechanical movement.

To maintain optimal performance, we recommend winding the watch regularly according to the power reserve specified for the movement.
