Explore our range of Automatic watches at Hollins and Hollinshead Jewellers. Our automatic watches are available in various styles, and have various features. An automatic watch or self-winding watch is a type of mechanical watch. Here are some of the features and functionalities of an automatic watch:

Self-winding mechanism: An automatic watch is equipped with a self-winding mechanism that winds the watches mainspring through the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist. As the wearer moves, a weighted rotor inside the watch rotates and transfers energy to the mainspring, which powers the watch. Power Reserve: The power reserve of an automatic watch refers to how long the watch can run without being worn or manually wound. The power reserve varies depending on the watches movements and can range from a few hours to several days.

Accuracy: Automatic watches are known for their accuracy, as they rely on mechanical movements rather than batteries or electronic components. However, accuracy can be affected by factors such as temperature, and position. Design: Automatic watches come in a variety of designs, from classics and elegant, to sporty and modern. They can have additional features, such as date display, moon phase indicator, and chronograph functions. Maintenance: Automatic watches require regular maintenance to keep them running accurately and smoothly. This typically involves cleaning, and adjusting the watches movement, which should be performed by a professional watchmaker.

Overall, an automatic watch is a practical and reliable timepiece that combines traditional craftsmanship of mechanical watchmaking with the convenience of self-winding technology. Explore our most popular automatic watch brand, Seiko. Click and collect available or view any of our automatic watches prior to purchase in store by booking an appointment.
