How to: Wind Your Automatic Watch?

If you own an automatic (self-winding) watch, you already know part of its charm is that it powers itself as you move. But what happens when you don’t wear it for a while? The watch stops ticking, and you’ll need to give it a little “wake-up” call. That’s where winding comes in.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to wind an automatic watch safely and correctly, so you can keep it running smoothly and accurately for years.
