Is a Lord Elgin Watch self-winding?

Answer by  silli586 (1103)

Yes, the Lord Elgin watches are made to be self winding, and what this means is that the wearer of the watch does not have to do the manual winding, as the watch will do it itself. These are pretty much the most convenient and easiest watches you can buy.

Yes, all Lord Elgin watches are self-winding. They work by using gravity to move heavy parts to turn the cogs, when the watch moves on the wearers wrist, the force moves cogs to make the watch function. Movement provides a spring in the watch to create enough energy to power the watch, even when not moving.
