The MONDAINE AUTOMATIC is a Swiss brand-name watch with a mechanical movement,
so it needs no batteries. It is factory-tested for water resistance and shock-
resistance.
The big breakthrough for automatic watches came in the 1940s after continual
improvement of this winding system over the years. Until the advent of cheap
quartz watches, automatic watches were the only convenient alternative to
traditional hand-wound models Mechanical watches look back on a long tradition
and, even today, they are the skilled watch-maker’s pride and joy. For many
watch fans, mechanical watches are still the only real ones.
The MONDAINE AUTOMATIC picks up and continues the success story of the top-
quality Swiss mechanical watch.
Its mechanical movement is a first-class Swiss product and accuracy is
guaranteed by the precise interaction of many tiny, meticulously adjusted
components such as cogs, pivots and springs.
The principle of the automatic watch is based on a rotor mounted on a ball
bearing which is turned to the right or left by gravity. Any movement bends
the winding spring, so the watch is continually wound up.
Mechanical watches in general are less accurate than quartz watches, and the
same applies to the MONDAINE AUTOMATIC.
You will have to bear with this slight variation because, although the
movement is very precise, the absence of electronics makes it more sensitive
to changes in temperature, movement and mechanical factors.
If you attach importance to absolute accuracy, you should check your watch
every couple of days and adjust it as necessary or wear a MONDAINE quartz
watch.
Your MONDAINE AUTOMATIC should be wound some 10 – 20 times before wearing to
ensure it runs regularly from the time you first put it on.
After a time, the movement of your wrist will have charged the watch with a
running reserve of about 36 hours, so it can be taken off at night without
causing problems.
Since 2020, Mondaine Group (including all brands) is one of the first watch
