I am not a watch expert.

I don’t know much of anything about movements, mechanics, jewels, etc etc, other than maybe a smidge more than the complete layman. All I do know is this… I like automatic watches. I’ve had a fascination for them for over 15 years now, and it’s a pure and basic like: I like the fact that interaction with the human body (in this case, simple movement) can not only power, but maintain an important device like a time keeper.

This watch review won’t focus too much on mechanics, other than what I have learned in the research I’ve done into automatic watches over the years. It will focus on aesthetics, actual accuracy (as I measured it), and features that I can see without opening the case back. And it will focus on why I like automatic watches.

Through the years, I’ve owned a half dozen automatic watches of a variety of types. I haven’t worn a digital watch for about 12 years now, and with the exception of one of the watches below, I haven’t worn a quartz watch for over 10 years. I like being part of the process… for the exact same reason, I like using a manual espresso machine like the Elektra Micro Casa a Leva or a La Pavoni Professional.
