Wrist mechanical watch with automatic winding
At one time, wristwatches were an integral part of every person's life, because with their help it was always possible to calculate your time. Now everyone has a mobile where you can see what time it is, and there is no urgent need for such products. But at the same time, their use has not lost its relevance, since now watches are considered not only a practical thing, but also a stylish accessory, and sometimes even an indicator of a person’s social status.

Peculiarities
The first self-winding mechanical watches appeared in the 19th century, their peculiarity was that there was no need to wind the accessory manually.
Mechanical products with manual winding require special attention of the owner, because if you accidentally forget to wind them up, they will simply stop. These accessories work thanks to a special rotor that winds the watch on its own under the influence of the movement of the person wearing it. They can stop only if a person does not wear a thing for three to four days.Thanks to this “cooperation” with a person, self-winding models began to be called alive.

Wrist mechanical watches today are produced in many countries, but one of the leading places in the production of this practical accessory is occupied by Russia.
