you simply wind it up and watch the mechanisims work and then watch it do it's job!
The way to work a stop watch is by pushing the red button to start and then pushing it again to stop and that is how you work a stop watch and also the way to test someone on how fast they do something.
A watch winder works by twisting gears that are attached to a tension spring. Once the gear is twisted and the spring is at full tension, the watch will properly work.
A new kinetic watch should wind enough just from normal daily arm movement. If it keeps running out then it can be wound manually by hand by taking the watch off and holding on to the band, shaking it into a semi circular pattern for a few minutes. An older watch will run out sooner not because of less movement but because the battery loses it's charge quicker. ( the winding charges the battery) There are also watch winders on the market, which are just a small box that you put the watch in and a electric motor rotates the box. They should be inexpensive, but they aren't. A two place winder will be around 100. and a one watch winder around 60-75.00$ They are used at night to wind the watch while you sleep.
yes, a watch is a compound machine because the gears in a watch that make it work are a wheel and axle because they spin in a round formation. :)
Since automatic watch winders are made for automatic watches, they will not work on battery powered watches. The two are not compatible. Battery powered watches are powered by quartz or ion lithium batteries.
Orbita Watch Winders are manufactured in Switzerland. In fact, most of the watches that need to be wound are made in Switzerland also. They are very expensive.

Watches to not usually come with automatic watch winders. They are sold separately for the purpose of keeping watches running while off of your wrist. Try browsing eBay for a winder that fits your budget.
Any jewelry store should have automatic watch winders, find a store that is great quality but cheap, never buy off of second hand stores or sites because you may not get what you are looking for.
yes

There are no professional watch winders, so an hourly rate cannot be determined. Most watches today are self winding. The few that are not simply require a few quick turns by the owner.
