Below, the editor shares the method for winding IWC watches for your reference.

　　Correct Method for Winding an IWC Watch

　　Automatic mechanical watches generally feature a freely rotating, disc-shaped metal oscillating weight on the back 1/3. As the wearer moves, the oscillating weight rotates, replacing the manual winding function of the crown. Automatic mechanical watches wind during half of the oscillating weight's rotation cycle and cannot wind during the other half, though they can also be wound manually.

With the MK Factory perfect version craftsmanship, every detail is handled appropriately, and the exterior is consistent with the genuine item. Even as a genuine piece, it is a favourite among many, and while a price of over twenty thousand is relatively attractive, buying this one-to-one model feels much more practical.
