I\u2019d be the first to tell you I\u2019m a pretty verbose guy. But this time, I promise I\u2019ll keep it short and sweet. I\u2019m going to break down each of the two types of mechanical watches and how you should wind it, with both the essentials and a little bit more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a side note, if your watch is a quartz watch, you won\u2019t need to wind it at all to keep it running: if it\u2019s stopped and the crown is pushed in, you\u2019ll just need a battery change. That\u2019s all for the intro\u2014let\u2019s get right into it!<\/p>\"bot-only-image\"<\/a>\"bot-only-image\"<\/a>\n\n\n\n

Automatic Watches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Wind<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most watches sold today are automatics. They use a winding rotor on the back to stay wound and keep running, so this makes your job here winding your watch a heck of a lot easier. If you\u2019re not sure if your watch is an automatic, look for a winding rotor through the caseback (if it\u2019s clear) or look for any sort of text on the dial or on the caseback that would indicate that it\u2019s an automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When an automatic watch<\/a> stops running, you have two options to get it going again. First, you can just give it a few gentle shakes or spins to get the rotor whirling and get just enough charge back into the mainspring (the power supply for the watch) for it to get ticking again. If you\u2019re a little too impatient for that, or just prefer manual winding, you can use the crown. Here\u2019s how that should work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, take the watch off your wrist if you\u2019re wearing it and hold it in your hand. If you wind the watch while it\u2019s on your wrist, you can put too much tension on the winding mechanism because of the angle you hold the crown at and risk damaging something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that it\u2019s in your hand, take hold of the crown\u2014that\u2019s the little knob sticking out of the side, usually at 3:00\u2014between two fingers. Make sure it\u2019s pushed all the way in, and then slowly rotate it clockwise. You should feel and hear a light grinding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It won\u2019t be very tactile, sort of a light resistance and a faint whirring sound as you turn it. If you feel nothing and hear nothing, you\u2019re probably turning it the wrong way and the winding has disengaged. Just switch the way you\u2019re turning it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the watch starts ticking again, you\u2019re good to go! Give it another turn or two for good measure and slip the watch on your wrist after you set the time. The automatic winding rotor will make sure the watch gets wound the rest of the way to its max as you wear it throughout the day and will keep it wound as you continue to wear it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you take your watch off for the night and go to pick it up the next day, you should be good to go! As long as the watch is ticking already, you won\u2019t need to worry about winding it. Just slip it on and let the automatic winding do its job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manual-Wind Watches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Manual-wind watches are a little trickier than automatic, but still quite easy to get the hang of. Many watch collectors find winding their manual watch to be an important daily ritual, of interacting with their watch and enjoying it before they slip it on for the day. Here\u2019s how you\u2019ll want to go about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with the automatic winding, make sure you\u2019re not wearing your watch before you go to wind it. Take it in one hand and be sure that the crown (again, the little knob sticking out, usually at 3:00) is pushed in all the way. Take the crown between two fingers of the other hand and gently rotate it clockwise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the automatic watches<\/a>, you should hear and feel a clear tactile tick with every slight degree of rotation. It\u2019s a sound that, after a while, you\u2019ll come to love. If you don\u2019t hear that, you\u2019re probably winding it the wrong way and should switch directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue to gently turn the crown clockwise. It\u2019ll take quite a few full rotations before the watch gets to full wind. The crown should turn easily, without much resistance. Eventually, you\u2019ll feel it stop. Do not turn the crown any further when you feel this resistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, the watch is fully wound and is unable to accept any more wind. Forcibly turning the crown further could seriously damage the mainspring! But if you\u2019re being relatively attentive and turning gently, you won\u2019t have to worry about accidentally damaging something. You\u2019ll feel your watch push back when you\u2019re done winding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like I touched on a little earlier, manual winding is an opportunity to take a moment at the start of each day to interact with your watch and to, quite literally, give yourself the time. Enjoy it, and enjoy watching the face of your watch as you wind it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your watch has a clear caseback, you can also flip it over and watch the winding gears turn and watch the balance wheel sputter into life as you gently wind. It\u2019s a moment to cherish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There, I kept it nice and short and sweet, with only a little bit of waxing philosophical about watch winding. But to be fair, a mechanical watch<\/a> is a thing of artisanal beauty, and it deserves a moment of contemplation and enjoyment as you wind it each day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a simple task, but one that can\u2019t be passed up and certainly should be appreciated. Make the most of it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
