The mechanical movement, however, represents a covenant. It is a living, breathing engine powered by human ingenuity. The energy stored in a meticulously wound mainspring is released through a symphony of components regulated by the steady tick-tock of the balance wheel—a heart beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour or more. This is kinetic art.
To own a mechanical watch is to become the custodian of a miniature universe, one that requires your attention, your movement, your very life force to persist. The automatic, or self-winding, variant takes this symbiosis further, with a rotor that harnesses the kinetic energy of your daily life, transforming your existence into its power source.
