There are various versions of these waving watches. It’s usually a cheap and rather ropey manual wind movement, with the arm stuck on the pallet fork so it waves - doesn’t do much for accuracy, but that’s not really what they’re about. The Mao one can still be found on AliX for about £10-15 I think.
Here are a few more from my collection - in addition to Mao I’ve got Queen Elizabeth II (definitely my favourite) and George W Bush, along with some other stupid novelty watches.
