Owning an automatic is a rite of passage, like learning how to drive a stick shift or using your first cast-iron skillet. Automatic watches, which are self winding, reflect an appreciation of a time long before we had smartphones or the internet. Dating back to the 1770s, the automatic movement is a complex and intricate engineering feat that has withstood the test of time and trend.
This type of watch is not just one you wear, it's one you feel. There's a level of intimacy that comes from a second heartbeat that lives in step with your every move. A true extension of yourself, the Runwell Automatic represents a deep connection, an expression that is about more than just a sense of style.
