One of the more anomalous characteristics of
the modern watch industry is that a hand-wound
watch, though less complex and slimmer than
an automatic, is considered such a niche product
that good examples often thrust one up into
higher prices and more luxurious climes. Even
at Nomos Glashütte, one of the few manufacture
brands to have taken hand-winding seriously
at lower price points, the emphasis is currently
much more towards automatics. Away from
Nomos, for those who value something
hand-wound below the “in-house” threshold,
there’s either the substantial heft of anything
packing the ubiquitous Unitas tractor
movement, or a bit of perseverance searching
for something more refined.
