Orient Watches Org04 Jan, 2023News

The beating of the heart when the mainspring is wound by hand at the crown gives a hand-wound mechanical watch a special, humanlike quality. As opposed to a self-winding mechanical watch, where the mainspring is wound by the wearer?s arm movement, this one must be wound by an external source.
