Finding the Right wrist-watches for You
Antique, vintage and luxury wristwatches have captured the hearts and minds of all manner of watch collectors as well as the watchmakers themselves — it's time you found your own.
Certain vintage watches for men and iconic watch designs for women are sought after not only because of their graceful proportions or innovative materials but also because of the illustrious histories of the houses that created them, histories that they stylishly embody.
Bulgari’s legendary Serpenti watch was on everyone’s list after the collection’s bold bracelet, which technically debuted after the timepiece, graced the wrist of actress Elizabeth Taylor. If anything, elaborately crafted timepieces — the unmistakably boxy silhouette of Cartier Tank watches, the elegant and minimal Calatrava designed by legendary Swiss house Patek Philippe — are even more effective than the shape we associate with traditional wristwatches.
Form watches — the all-encompassing moniker bestowed upon non-round watches — are making headlines and completing contemporary fashionable ensembles the world over. At the same time, both casual fans and careful collectors are drawn to the unbeatable charm of vintage styles, such as the icons designed by Omega that even James Bond can’t resist.
In the early days of watchmaking, watches were fragile enough that they necessitated protection from the elements. Now, wristwatches made of gold and steel can withstand the harshest climates — even 100 meters underwater, in the case of Rolex’s Submariner. Designer Gérald Genta, whose range of clients included Rolex, created for Audemars Piguet the first luxury sports timepiece to be made from stainless steel. First introduced in 1972, the Royal Oak was a perfect choice for blending the form and function that are now synonymous with sports watches.
Are you shopping for a wristwatch? It’s good to keep your needs as well as your specific personal style in mind: A smaller, subtle timepiece is a good fit for small wrists. When will you be wearing your new accessory? There’s a versatile model out there for everyday wear, while a rugged, feature-heavy watch is a safe bet if you’re prone to embarking on all-weather activities in the great outdoors.
Find antique, vintage and luxury wristwatches for sale on 1stDibs.
Questions About Wind Up Watch
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Most Rolex watches use a Perpetual rotor which means that they do not need winding if worn regularly. If you have not worn your watch in some time, you can manually wind it by unscrewing the crown to the winding position and turning it clockwise about 20 times. Make sure to screw the crown back into place after winding to reestablish its waterproof qualities. Shop a collection of authentic Rolex watches from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- How do I wind a Piaget watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To wind a Piaget watch, pull out the winding crown located on the side. Turn it clockwise until you detect resistance. For a full wind, you will normally need to twist about 20 times. On 1stDibs, find a range of Piaget watches.
- How do I wind a Rolex watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To wind a Rolex watch, first fully unscrew the winding crown. Once it is in a raised position, carefully turn the crown clockwise. Most watches require 25 turns for enough winding to begin powering the watch. The instructions included with Rolex watches provide more information about how to wind specific models. Shop a large collection of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Wind a vintage Omega watch by twisting the crown at the side in a clockwise direction. Stop winding once you feel the movement of the crown stop. Browse a range of authenticated vintage and contemporary Omega watches from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To wind a Vacheron Constantin, turn the winding crown clockwise until you sense some resistance. Typically, manual-winding watches require daily winding. You usually won't have to wind a self-winding timepiece unless you do not wear it for a day or two. Shop a range of Vacheron Constantin watches on 1stDibs.
- What is a key wind pocket watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A key-wind pocket watch is a type of portable timepiece produced from the early 19th century through the middle of the 19th century. It features a mechanism that requires regular winding with a device called a winding key. Shop a range of key-wind pocket watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How old key-wind pocket watches are varies greatly. Watchmakers used key-wind mechanisms in pocket watches starting in the 16th century and continued the practice until the mid 19th century. You can find a collection of key-wind pocket watches on 1stDibs.
- Do I have to wind a Rolex?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, you don’t have to wind a Rolex watch as long as you are wearing it regularly. Rolex watches feature a Perpetual rotor that collects energy from the wrist’s movement and converts it into power for the watch. Browse a collection of expertly authenticated Rolex watches from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is a North Wind chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022North Wind chairs feature a mythical figure, such as a fantasy creature or animal, carved into the top back. The chair was meant to protect a space from evil spirits. On 1stDibs, find a selection of North Wind chairs from some of the world’s top sellers.
- How to wind a datejust rolex?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To wind a Rolex Datejust, set the crown notch (located on the right hand side of the face) to position one. To set it to position one, turn the crown counterclockwise to unscrew the crown and pop the crown out one notch. From this position, start to wind the Rolex by turning the crown clockwise. You should feel a bit of tension and hear a soft clicking sound. Browse a wide selection of Rolex Datejust watches on 1stDibs.
- How do I wind a Rolex Datejust?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To begin to wind a Rolex Datejust, unscrew the winding crown fully. Then, turn the crown in a clockwise direction at least 25 times for a partial winding. Because the watch self-winds as you move, you usually only need to wind a Rolex Datejust before the first wear or if you let several days pass between wears. You’ll find a large selection of Rolex Datejust watches on 1stDibs.
- How does a wind-up toy work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How a wind-up toy works relies on a part called a torsion spring. When you turn the knob or key, tension builds up on the torsion spring. When you stop winding, the accumulated energy sets an inner gear in motion that powers the movement of the toy. Find a collection of antique and vintage wind-up toys on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Gone With the Wind lamps are chamber or hurricane lamps. They are characterized by their hand-painted globes with decorative floral motifs. Shop a collection of antique Gone With the Wind lamps from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- How do I wind a Rolex Oyster?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To wind a Rolex Oyster, set the crown notch (located on the right hand side of the face) to position one. To set it to position one, turn the crown counterclockwise to unscrew the crown and pop the crown out one notch. From this position, start to wind the Rolex by turning the crown clockwise.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023To wind an Elliott clock, first, find the slot in the back. Insert the key or crank and turn until the winding mechanism doesn't move anymore.

- How do I wind a banjo clock?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To wind a banjo clock, insert the key into the winding point.
