How Power Reserve Works

All mechanical watches, whether they are automatic or have to be wound by hand, are powered by a main spring that coils tightly when it is wound. The energy from that spring is stored in a barrel, which is where the spring is put. Once the spring is fully wound, it starts to unwind in a steady way, releasing energy to move wheels, hands, the date, and any other parts.

Depending on the power reserve, a watch can be worn for a while, taken off for a day, and then put back on with the time still going. If, for example, you take off your watch on Friday night and don’t put it back on until Monday morning, you may need to change the time if the watch’s power reserve ran out, or you may not. It depends on the watch. The power reserve of the average automatic watch is usually between 36 and 48 hours.

How to Power a Watch

The crown needs to be wound so that the power reserve can be filled. Some crowns can be wound in either direction, depending on how they were made. You can’t put too much power into an automatic watch, so you don’t have to worry about turning the crown too many times.

It has a safety feature that is different for automatic and hand-wound watches that keeps the mainspring from being too tight. On automatic watches, the end of the mainspring is connected to a strong piece of stainless steel called a “slipping clutch.” This lets the end of the mainspring slip through the barrel when the watch is fully wound, without having to tighten the mainspring any further.
