    Description

    An open case. Everything moving, visible.

    MECHA 01 has no dial. Where a face would normally sit, you look straight into the movement — bridges, gear wheels, and a gold balance wheel swinging six times a second. Two slim hands ride over the top of it, and that's the only thing between you and the mechanism.

    It's automatic, so there's no battery in it. A weighted rotor turns as you move your wrist and winds the mainspring. Wear it daily and it just runs. Leave it in a drawer for two days and it stops until you put it back on or wind the crown.

    The barrel case is 316L steel in a warm rose gold tone, 41 × 50 mm and 14 mm thick — a big watch that sits flatter on the wrist than the numbers suggest. Black silicone strap keeps it from tipping into jewellery; the gold does enough on its own.

    An automatic gains or loses a few seconds a day. If you want something you set once and forget for three years, take one of our quartz models instead.

    Shipping and returns

    Not for everyone

    For people who like to see how things work.

    No solid dial, no cover. Just the movement, open from edge to edge, ticking six times a second. MECHA is for people who'd rather watch the gears than read a logo.

    The comparison

    What you're actually paying for

    An open mechanical watch from a big name and MECHA show you the same thing: a movement you can watch. The difference is everything around it.

    How it works

    Wound by your wrist

    There's no battery inside a MECHA. A weighted rotor turns every time you move your arm and winds the mainspring. The spring releases that energy through the gear train to the balance wheel, which swings back and forth six times a second, and that's what keeps the time. Wear it and it runs. Leave it in a drawer for two days and it stops until you wind it again.

    Why open heart

    A movement you can watch

    01

    Nothing to hide

    Most watches put a dial between you and the mechanism. This one takes it away.

    02

    Jewels where it matters

    Synthetic rubies sit where metal rubs metal, so the gears wear slowly instead of grinding.

    03

    The balance never stops

    The wheel swings six times a second, day and night, for as long as you wear it.

    04

    No battery, ever

    A weighted rotor turns as you move and winds the mainspring. Nothing to replace, nothing to charge.

    In motion

    Watch it work

    Every MECHA runs on a self-winding mechanical movement. No battery, no dial in the way, just the balance wheel beating six times a second.

    Inside MECHA

    From steel case to open heart

    Crystal, case, skeleton bridges, gear train, balance wheel, rotor. Every layer of a MECHA is built to be seen, not hidden behind a dial. When it's assembled, all of it stays on show and keeps moving on your wrist. Illustration of the movement layers.

    Fair warning

    Mechanical, not quartz.

    An automatic watch gains or loses a few seconds a day, stops if you leave it in a drawer for two days, and needs resetting when you pick it up again. People who own mechanical watches consider that part of the appeal. If you want something you set once and forget for three years, take one of our quartz models instead.

    Care and assurance

    Questions

    Does it need a battery?

    No. A rotor inside winds the mainspring as you move your wrist. Wear it daily and it runs; leave it for two days and it stops until you wind it or put it back on.

    How accurate is it?

    Expect a few seconds of drift a day, which is normal for a mechanical movement in this class. A quartz watch is more accurate; a mechanical one is more interesting.

    Is the spinning part a tourbillon?

    No. It's an open balance wheel, the part that makes every mechanical watch tick. We'd rather tell you that than sell you a word.

    Can I swim with it?

    No. 5 ATM handles rain, hand-washing and sweat. Take it off before the pool or the shower.

    How do I set and wind it?

    Pull the crown out one click to set the time, then push it back in flat against the case. If it has stopped, give it 20–30 turns of the crown first.

    What if I don't like it?

    You have 99 days from delivery to try it. Swap it for another colour for free, shipping both ways on us, or send it back for a full refund. Every watch has a lifetime warranty on the movement.
