Understanding Mechanical/Automatic Watches vs. Quartz Watches

What is a Mechanical/Automatic Watch?

Mechanical and automatic watches like this are timepieces powered by a complex series of gears and springs. Unlike quartz watches, which use a battery, mechanical watches rely on the mechanical movement of their parts to keep time.

• Mechanical Watches: These watches must be manually wound by turning the crown. The mainspring stores energy, which is gradually released to power the watch.
• Automatic Watches: Also known as self-winding watches, these harness the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist to wind the mainspring. If you wear them regularly, you don’t need to wind them manually.

What is a Quartz Watch?

A battery powers quartz watches and use a small piece of quartz crystal to keep time. The battery sends an electrical current through the crystal, causing it to vibrate at a precise frequency. These vibrations are converted into regular pulses, which move the watch hands.

Key Differences:

1. Power Source:

   • Mechanical/Automatic: Powered by a mainspring and gears.
   • Quartz: Powered by a battery.

2. Movement:

   • Mechanical/Automatic: The second hand moves smoothly, sweepingly.
   • Quartz: The second hand moves in individual ticks.

3. Maintenance:

   • Automatic: If worn consistently, the motion of your wrist will load the spring and keep it running. May need occasional servicing.
   • Quartz: Battery needs to be replaced periodically.

4. Accuracy:

   • Mechanical/Automatic: Slightly less accurate, with minor variations in timekeeping due to mechanical parts.
   • Quartz: Highly accurate, with minimal deviation over time.

Why Choose a Mechanical/Automatic Watch?

Mechanical and automatic watches are often chosen for their craftsmanship, heritage, and the intricate engineering involved in their creation. They offer a tangible connection to the tradition of watchmaking and are valued by enthusiasts for their beauty and the skill required to make them.
