Our automatic movements

An automatic watch movement is driven by a rotor. Arm and wrist movements spin the rotor, which in turn winds the main spring. Energy is continuously produced, eliminating the need for a battery. The rate precision therefore depends on a rigorous manufacturing process and the original calibration, as well as the lifestyle of the user.

In addition to being highly accurate, the innovative Powermatic 80 automatic movement has a power reserve of up to 80 hours – almost twice as long as comparable models. This means that a fully wound watch left unworn for three days – for example, over the weekend – will still not need resetting, as the Powermatic 80 mechanism continues to keep time.
