Either you’re reading this to hate on me for daring to suggest your gorgeous automatic watch is a bad idea, or a newbie who’s just figured out that a self-winding watch is called an automatic watch – as opposed to a watch you have to wind. Both types qualify as a mechanical watch. So, if we’re getting technical, a watch you have to wind is “a manual wind mechanical watch” or, less technically, a “hand-wound watch.” Where was I? Oh yes: don’t buy a self-winding watch. Hand-wound watches are better. Two reasons: aesthetic and visceral.

There are many watches to choose from such as dress watches, high-end watches, luxury watches, men’s watches, and so much more. However, it’s also important to know what kind of look or design you want in a watch. Sure, you can tilt your automatic, self-winding watch to move the rotor to see both halves of the movement. But you can’t see both halves at the same time. You can’t appreciate the full, unsullied splendor of the bits and pieces that makes a hand-wound mechanical watch a thing of unique beauty. You can’t stare at the engineering marvel, knowing that you own a complex, wonderful, wondrous, complete micro-machine. People who buy quartz watches, ’cause they’re cheaper and more reliable.
