Editorial Reviews
The self-winding watch (18th - 21st centuries), by J.C. Sabrier, Ed. Cercle d'Art, 9-½ inches x 12 inches ( 24 cm x 30.5 cm ), hardcover book with 308 full color pages
This hardcover book with 308 full color pages traces the history of self-winding watches from its origins.
Like most inventions, even the most fundamental ones, it is hardly possible to determine the inventor of those whose objectives, as well as the means to achieve them, cannot be defined with precision, any more than it is possible to determine the precise date of these inventions. By definition, a self-winding watch is a timepiece that can function, without the need to wind it manually.
Since the watch has existed, many watchmakers have imagined different processes for maintaining the movement of a watch, without the conscious intervention of its owner. It is certain that at all times, man has fantasized about the existence of "perpetual motion"

Description
La montre à remontage automatique (XVIIIe - XXIe siècles), de J.C. Sabrier, Ed. Cercle d'Art, 24 cm x 30.5 cm, relié avec 308 pages couleurs
Cet ouvrage relié de 308 pages couleurs retrace l'histoire des montres à remontage automatique depuis ses origines.
Comme la plupart des inventions, même les plus fondamentales, il n'est guère possible de déterminer l'inventeur de celles, dont les objectifs, comme les moyens pour les atteindre, ne peuvent être définies avec précision, pas plus qu'il n'est possible de déterminer la date précise de ces inventions. Par définition, une montre à remontage automatique est un garde-temps qui peut fonctionner, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de le remonter manuellement.
Depuis que la montre existe, de très nombreux horlogers ont imaginé différents procédés permettant d'entretenir le mouvement d'une montre, sans l'intervention consciente de son propriétaire. Il est certain qu'à toutes les époques, l'homme a fantasmé sur l'existence du « mouvement perpétuel »
