No Battery Or Charging Necessary

Automatic watches are designed in a way to wind automatically, which means that they do not require a battery to operate. While mechanical watches require manual winding, an automatic watch runs on the kinetic energy provided from the wearer walking or winding the crown, and feeds it to the drive mechanism of the machine. Thus, no battery or charging is needed.

Thus, no battery or charging is needed.

2. Long Lasting Power


In addition to not needing any batteries, high quality automatic watches can store power for a large amount of time, especially if they are fully wound up. Depending on the design and grade, these timepieces usually have enough power to last you up to 42 idle hours, which is why you definitely won’t be waking up on the day of an important business meeting with a non-working watch.

3. Easy To Care For


Automatic timepieces are overall easy to maintain - as mentioned above, they’re self-sustainable and can be easily readjusted if they’re unused for a long time and happen to cease to function. Otherwise, by using a soft cloth to wipe your watch every now and again, you’ll have it looking as good as new for years to come.

4. Outstanding Craftsmanship


The engineering and craftsmanship that is incorporated into the creation of every single automatic watch is downright genius. Creating something like this requires years of training, therefore every part of these magnificent timepieces comes to life with perfect precision and expertise. This makes them one of the most powerful and smoothly operating watches on the market.

5. Suave & Stylish


Adding to the craftsmanship, these watches provide undeniable visual appeal. First and foremost - the impressive caliber that’s not overly bulky and looks amazing on anyone's wrist, plus the stylish and comfortable strap that can be swapped out depending on the occasion. And of course, a Forge & Foster specialty - our stellar skeleton dial that shows off the smooth and aesthetically pleasing turning of the gears.

6. A Timeless Investment


A quality automatic timepiece is one of the few possessions that can sustain through an indefinite lifespan. Thanks to its exceptional aesthetics, the watch can blend in with a multitude of events and fashion trends, which means it never goes out of style. If the watch is taken care of and treasured, it can be passed on from generation to generation for years to come.

7. An Artistic Expression Of Oneself


A watch like this acts as a style statement and is the ultimate way to express yourself. Automatic timepieces have the ability to bring out your values, culture and individuality, which can never be replaced by technology. All you have to do is pick the one watch that conveys your innermost self.
