Rotor

Definition

What is a Rotor in Watches?

The rotor is a crucial component of an automatic (self-winding) watch movement. It is a semicircular, eccentrically weighted piece that swings back and forth inside the watch case with the motion of the wearer’s arm. The rotor’s movement winds the mainspring, providing the watch with a continuous power supply.

How it Works: As the wearer moves their arm, the rotor pivots around its center point, causing it to rotate. The eccentric weight on the rotor creates a swinging motion, which transfers energy to the mainspring. The mainspring stores this energy, powering the watch’s gears, escapement, and hands.
