Can you wind this manually and is it hackable? A 40mm version would be nice.

DoriroDYes, you can wind it manually. All automatics need a manual wind to get started, usually about ten turns is enough.
Yes, it is a hacking movement. "A hacking movement is one that stops the second hand when you pull the crown to the time-setting position, so you can set it to the second." (A quote I found on Google, which explained it more elegantly than I could).

There are automatic movements that cannot be hand wound. For instance the Seiko 72Sx movements found in The Seiko 5 series. With such watches you just give them a few shakes to get started. Even when an automatic offers manual winding, though, it shouldn't "need" a manual wind to get started.
