What is Manual Winding in Watches?

In manual or mechanical watches, winding is the process of manually winding the mainspring to store potential energy that powers the watch’s movement. It is a traditional method of powering mechanical watches before the introduction of automatic winding mechanisms.

How it Works: The winding process involves turning the watch’s crown to wind the mainspring. As the crown is turned, the mainspring becomes increasingly tensioned, storing energy to power the watch’s gears and regulate the timekeeping.
