I collect these in high-quality and stylish examples. Yes, you’ll have to wind it briefly once or twice a day and learn how to do that correctly, but no big deal. It’s well worth it and any minor repair for the fashion effect.
Silver and gold are out there, as well as base metal pieces. I look for delicate design and pretty straps.

TRUE VINTAGE WIND-UP WATCHES: A CLASSIC AND FEMININE ACCESSORY – Magicvintagespy
My aunt left me her wind up watch that I just loved as a child. It still works, and it still brings me the same thrill when I look at it. Such a wonderful way to feel feminine and classy.
