How does a manual watch work?

How does a manual watch work?
You have to manually wind the crown to generate power for the watch every 2 days.

A manual watch works as the user winds it on a regular basis. This timepiece has an inner movement driven by a mainspring that requires regular winding. Most manual watches last up to 40 hours with a single wind. Find a collection of vintage watches on 1stDibs.
