A daily ritual

With manual winding, you tension the mainspring yourself via the crown. Twenty to thirty turns in the morning are enough for most movements to run a full day, and for many wearers this is a conscious moment that makes the watch more personal. Only wind until you feel resistance and try to do so at roughly the same time each day; this keeps the power reserve constant and the movement runs in its optimal torque range.

Slimmer cases, finer movements

Without a rotor, hand-wound movements are considerably thinner. This benefits classic dress watches in particular, which slip elegantly under the shirt cuff. At the same time, the view of the entire movement remains unobstructed. Manufactures make use of this and decorate hand-wound calibres with particular care, which is one reason why many of these watches feature a display caseback.
