"A new star has risen in the horologists' firmament: the watch without winding stem, the self-winding watch. Its advent was announced at the end of 1929 by Henri Clouzot, then Director of the Galliera Museum, and organiser of the 1923 Breguet Exhibition in Paris, in an article entitled - L'Art precieux de notre temps. - Referring to the XIX century historians of watchcraft, Clouzot specified that the oldest known, patented self-winding watch was that of Louis Recordon, a watchmaker of Swiss origin then established in England; his patent dates back to 1780 and Recordon was therefore considered as the chief inventor of the timepieces originally known as - perpetual watches -." In his article, however, Clouzot referred to certain indications which seemed to show that the principle of this type of watch had already then been known for over two centuries." (from Wikipedia).
