watch terms--A

analog: A watch that shows the time using hour and minute hands.
aperture: Small opening. The dials of some watches (in French: montres ?guichet) have apertures in which certain indications are given (e.g. the date, the hour, etc).
applique: Applique or applied chapters are numerals or symbols cut out of a sheet metal and stuck or riveted to a dial.
automatic watch: A watch whose mainspring is wound by the movements or accelerations of the wearer's arm. On the basis of the principle of terrestrial attraction, a rotor turns and transmits its energy to the spring by means of an appropriate mechanism. The system was invented in Switzerland by Abraham-Louis Perrelet in the 18th century.
automatic winding: This term refers to a watch with a mechanical movement (as opposed to a quartz or electrical movement). The watch is wound by the motion of the wearer's arm rather than through turning the winding stem. A rotor that turns in response to motion winds the watch's mainspring. If an automatic watch is not worn for a day or two, it will wind down and need to be wound by hand to get it started again.
