Mechanical Watches

Mechanical watches are timekeeping devices that use a complex system of gears and springs to measure time. Unlike quartz watches, which rely on a battery to power an electronic oscillator, mechanical watches are powered by the natural motion of a spring, either through manual winding or automatic movement.A key feature of mechanical watches is their intricate craftsmanship, often involving hundreds of small parts that work together to create accurate timekeeping. These watches can be categorized into two main types: manual and automatic. Manual mechanical watches require the wearer to wind the crown to tension the mainspring, while automatic mechanical watches harness energy from the wearer’s wrist movement to wind the mainspring automatically.Mechanical watches are valued for their artistry, engineering, and tradition, often considered luxury items and collectibles. The appeal lies in their mechanical complexity, as well as the fact that they do not rely on electronic components, making them a symbol of horological heritage and craftsmanship.
