I have found the translation of "remontoir" is
"winding mechanism"
"The mechanism which tightens the mainspring in a watch or lifts the weights in a clock. It comprises about ten parts (see drawing). The winding and hand-setting mechanisms have nowadays some parts in common."
I am not sure if this is the correct translation in this context. I would appreciate any help with this.
Does it mean that you can wind your watch every day using a winding mechanism?

used to rotate a self-winding watch, to keep it wound even if you are not wearing it.
