A self-winding or computerized watch is one that rewinds the mainspring of a mechanical motion via the natural motions of the wearer's body. The first self-winding mechanism become invented for pocket watches in 1770 by Abraham-Louis Perrelet, but the first "self-winding", or "automated", wristwatch turned into the invention of a British watch repairer named John Harwood in 1923. This type of watch winds itself without requiring any unique motion by using the wearer. It uses an eccentric weight, referred to as a winding rotor, which rotates with the motion of the wearer's wrist. The lower back-and-forth motion of the winding rotor couples to a ratchet to wind the mainspring routinely. Self-winding watches typically also can be wound manually to maintain them running while now not worn or if the wearer's wrist motions are insufficient to preserve the watch wound.

In April 2014 the Swatch Group released the sistem51 wristwatch. It has a in simple terms mechanical motion which includes only 51 components, consisting of a novel self-winding mechanism with a obvious oscillating weight. So some distance, it's miles the best mechanical movement manufactured absolutely on a completely computerized assembly line. The low parts remember and the automated meeting make it an less expensive mechanical Swiss watch, which can be taken into consideration a successor to Roskopf actions, even though of higher nice.
