Actually my favorite watches are automatic and technically you don’t need to wind them. The motion of your hand/arm winds them. I do have mechanical watches which are the ones you must wind. Actually when I do repairs it’s easier to work on mechanical watches. Watches are very intricate and have fantastic history behind them. I do have a couple watches that are probably obscenely priced but to be honest with a couple hundred bucks you can buy an automatic watch that will literally last generations if you care for it properly. It’s just a good healthy distraction and a lot of fun trying to find an interesting watch with history on the cheap. I got a 1960 diver in mint condition for 130 bucks.
Ha!
