How Automatic Watches Work

Whatever Happened to Winding?

Depending on your age, you may or may not remember seeing your father wind his watch each night before going to bed. If he did not, he would surely wake to a watch that had stopped. Those days became history with the advent of the automatic watch. What makes it automatic? It still has the same basic mechanism to keep the watch working, but how that mechanism is powered changed the way we cared for our watches.

All mechanical watches work in a similar manner. They require a movement of a series of gears to “tick” of increments of time, which in turn registers as movements of the hands on the face of the watch.

In fact, only authorized Rolex dealers are legally permitted to sell genuine Rolex watches according to the official Rolex website.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that all unauthorized Rolex dealers selling Rolex watches are selling Folexes (fake Rolexes), though it is a distinct possibility. Genuine Rolex’s may be available at auction sites such as Ebay.com, and as some sites say, may be bought from the wholesale secondary market, with savings passed on to the buyer. Still, it is a shaky business deal and one definitely worth investigating. The Rolex Company is notorious for demanding its dealers are authorized, and even its repair centers be authorized.
