Watchfinder & Co. presents:
When you wear an automatic watch, it never stops, never runs out of power. Is this magic? Some breakthrough in perpetual motion? No, of course it isn’t, but it is still pretty clever, and it’s taken the best part of a millennium to perfect. Let’s see what all the fuss is about.

I have an old 1970 omega constellation that I would like to get fixed but I don’t have any local places that would fix it for me. This was my great grandfathers and it is very special to me and I want a trust worthy person to fix it for me.
and Swatch made the same mechanism with only 51 parts including the whole watch
Big fan of this channel. If you can, please make a video on FP Journe’s resonance discovery/invention. I find that story incredibly fascinating.
Wow, never seen a 5180 before, I literally thought this was a prototype.
Best explanation of how does an automatic Watch Work I ever seen.
I want this watch
I’ve a question, why are jewels used? Is there a specific purpose to it?
Who the hell “down thumbed” this incredible video?!?!?!? lmao
can you speak abit louder ??
So whats the difference between this and a Seiko 5 ?
Understand this and “How Does A Mechanical Watch Work”, one’s pretty much understand the basic principle of mechanical watches.
These videos are amazing, keep them coming!

I’d love to see a video on the Tudor Black bay 36/41
Absolutely gorgeous camera work! On an absolutely stunning watch. Good job 🙂
How much is your watch
you have very ugly hairy arms. you should shave or wax your arms
That was the best explanation of an automatic watch I’ve seen.
At first glance, I saw “Patek Philippe $180” by hovering the mouse over the title.
BTW .. I don’t understand anything dude XD..
Can you please review the Bulgari Octo Finissimo and the Christophe Claret Margot? They look so special.
Great video but wish there was like a arrow indicating which part is being told..
I love watching your videos. Marco shots are superb!
Beautifully made video, and the watch is exquisite. Thank you.
Would be interesting to see a comparison with the co-axial escapement
Magnificent as always
I love this comment about the narrator on another Watchfinder Video – “The narrator could make a bag of turd sound luxurious!”………….I agree!
Watchmaking 101 – this should be a required viewing for all students in watchmaking school.
Does someone know what music is being used?
I love your videos. But I can’t help but thinking you wanted to be deliberately cheeky in this one! =P Using this ~$100k masterpiece with its astonishingly beautiful hand finishing and engravings to explain how a self-winding mechanical movement works is like teaching anatomy with a Playboy magazine. You could have been telling the story of Humpty Dumpty and I wouldn’t have noticed.
that Patek looks a lot like the chinese shitters..
‘How does a Tourbillon watch work’ video plz?
Your voice is so soothing it helps me sleep hahahha, great video and content bro!
Again a very insightful video
Automatic watch is a magic, quartz can never be equal
You guys have some crazyyyyyyyyy cameras
