Movement
Vintage Swiss automatic watches
A mechanical movement wound by a weighted rotor as your wrist moves. Longines' 19AS from 1952, with its unusually large rotor, powers the first Conquest. IWC's Ingenieur uses the caliber 852, or the 8521 with a date, fitted with Albert Pellaton's winding system, which winds the mainspring whichever way the rotor turns.
