Self winding watches have been around for many years. Any leading jeweler will carry different brands. Kay Jewelers, Zales, Jarrod Galleria, and The Jewel Box all have them.
You have a seperately excited generator and then you have a shunt generator which has the field winding in parallel with the armature terminals. In DC machines a separately excited generator could be run as a shunt generator provided the field winding is designed to work on the generated voltage. A separately excited alternator needs a DC supply for the field winding. In car alternators that is taken from the main winding via a rectifier and a voltage regulator.
when an alternating current apply on primary side of transformer then magnetic flux produced in the iron core of transformer.Then flux link with secondary winding of transformer so that an emf produced in a transformer.
A 'compund wound' dc generator has shunt winding and a series winding. The shunt winding has a high resistance, and draws only a small current from the armature, but as it has many turns of wire on it, it generates a strong magnetic field. The series winding has only a few turns of wire on it, and, even though it has a large current in it, its magnetic field is usually less than that of the shunt field. Because of this, the compound generator behaves in most ways like a shunt generator, and is controlled in the same way. As it is self-excited, the compound wound generator requires 'residual flux' to start the generating process. The series winding, if connected to AID the shunt field, can boost the field flux as load comes onto the machine and correct for the normal 'droop' in output voltage as the load increases. If set up properly, this correction makes the generator self-regulating. Because the fields aid each-other, this connection is called 'cumulative compounded'. This type of machine is the workhorse of the larger generator market. If the series field winding is connected so it's field OPPOSES the shunt field, then the output voltage of the generator collapses as the machine is loaded up. This connection is referred to as 'differential compounded', and is only used for arc welding generators - they have a high voltage before the arc is struck; a fairly low voltage during welding operations, and if the rod sticks to the work, they shut the generator down without damaging it.
A single phase induction motor is not self starting; thus, it is necessary to provide a starting circuit and associated start windings to give the initial rotation in a single phase induction motor. The normal running windings within such a motor motor can cause the rotor to turn in either direction, so the starting circuit determines the operating direction.
Most self-winding watches have mechanisms to prevent overwinding.
You don't have to turn the switch on the watch to keep it running.
There's a relatively heavy part within each self winding watch, which responds to changes in gravity. This piece will always want to point down. As the watch is worn during the day, it winds itself.
It depends on your watch.
A self-winding watch will have the rotor (a spinning weight) inside the caseback (the "lid" on the underside of the watch), which for some particular makes and models do not have a display caseback (a caseback with a window to show the rotor and the movement) makes it difficult to identify.
One type of watch is known as the "self-winding" or "automatic watch," which winds itself using the natural motion of the wearer. Movement rotates a winding rotor, which winds the watch via a ratchet. Other analog watches also bear self-moving parts, though for most this merely consists of the watch hands and associated gears.

If the watch is relatively new or still within its warranty period then it may be returned to the manufacturer for repair. Otherwise, it could be taken to a specialist watch and jewellery repair workshop.
A Self-Winding Sidewinder - 1973 was released on: USA: 9 October 1973
The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean is a watch made by the Omega company. It is a self-winding watch with amazing features like being waterproof up to 2000 feet.
It is a traditional watch, you wind it to get it started again. If it is powered by a battery, you replace the battery. If it is self-winding, you move it in the manner designed to make it work.
