A watch self-winding device with rotary motion, including a base carrying a motor driving in rotation a support carrying a watch and includes an upper watch holder with a surface in direct contact with a watch, this support includes a microphone for listening to a watch and an embedded electronic circuit processing the signal from the microphone, the device includes, in order to supply power to the embedded electronic circuit, a first coil fixed to the base and powered by a power source carried or relayed by the base, and a second coil embedded in the support, coaxial to the first coil and arranged to transmit power to the embedded electronic circuit, which is arranged to exchange information with a static electronic circuit in the base.

An electronic watch of the present disclosure includes a power generation device having a rotating weight rotating about a rotary shaft, and configured to convert mechanical energy obtained by rotation of the rotating weight into electrical energy, a clocking device configured to clock time, and an antenna disposed on an inner side in a radial direction of the rotating weight than a rotational trajectory of an outer peripheral edge of the rotating weight in plan view viewed from an axial direction of the rotary shaft, and configured to be capable of receiving a long wave standard radio wave, wherein the rotating weight has an opening portion or a notch portion disposed at a position that enables the rotating weight to overlap with the antenna in plan view, and does not cover the entire antenna in plan view regardless of a rotational position.

An energy harvesting system for use with the human body may use an eccentrically mounted weight winding a mainspring that drives a mechanical clock mechanism. The mechanical clock mechanism in turn may produce pulses of electricity, for example, through periodic flexing of a piezoelectric or triboelectric material during the regular motion of the mechanical timing mechanism. By remaining in a mechanical rather than electrical domain, improved simplicity and efficiency may be obtained in the generation of regularly spaced uniform pulses.
