I like automatic watches and I love to watch the balance wheel moving and
I think it like our life If we stop the movement and work we will lose our balance!!
Good luck in your future movement’s

I really like that you take such pride in the making of your watches. They look great and I trust that your attention to detail makes for a great running watch.

Sharp watch! I really like the “open heart” design in which you can see some of the workings of the watch. The Orient CFT00004B looks beautifully crafted, elegant, and stylish.

For me there is something about having an automatic watch on my wrist. I own quite a few and I am amazed at the accuracy of your in house movements. I own a few of your automatics and I bought them to wear as they say “beaters” but when the arrived at my door I quickly realized I would have to find another watch to beat around. I really have no idea how you can sell such a quality product for such a low price but I guess that’s the point. I guess you can say I’m a watch nut but if people could understand what makes an automatic movement work from every gear, cog, spring and rotor working seamlessly together it would seam an impossibility to have it all work and maintain the correct time. I’m an “amateur watchmaker” and I mean amateur, but I do love working on my own auto’s. There is nothing more pleasing to the eye than to take apart a nonworking movement, clean it, replace some parts, oil it and give it a wind and see it come to back to life again. It still amazes me looking at all those tiny parts moving and working together. I only wish that one of my Orient automatics would stop working, I would love to get in there and see what makes your incredibly accurate movements tick. I have a feeling I’m going to have a long wait ahead of me.

I’ve always been fascinated by the amazing stuff that goes on inside a watch! Thank you for the further information!

I stumbled on this item while researching a vintage Orient watch that I have inherited. It’s about 30 years old but still looks great and keeps good time. This article has taught me a bit about what makes it tick and now I want to know more. The video of the CFT00004B is fascinating. The moving parts that can be seen look almost alive as they tick away inside the watch. What an amazing tiny machine.

Thanks for a great article that takes the time to explain what few do.

What leads people to Orient watches is a desire for something authentic from a company that takes the time to develop their own movements. So, it only makes sense that these same people would be the ones who appreciate what is happening inside this piece of wearable history, that you can’t find in a quartz movement.
