What is a Mechanical Movement in Watches?
A mechanical movement is a traditional type of watch movement that relies on a complex system of gears, springs, and levers to power the watch. It offers a unique and captivating experience, as the watch’s hands sweep smoothly around the dial without the ticking motion seen in quartz watches.
How it Works: Mechanical movements are powered by the tension stored in the mainspring, which is wound manually or through the motion of the wearer’s arm in the case of automatic movements. As the mainspring unwinds, it transfers energy to the gear train, escapement, and balance wheel, resulting in the smooth and continuous movement of the hands.
