Understanding Watch Movements: Mechanical vs. Quartz vs. Automatic

Understanding movements is key to appreciating watches. Here's the breakdown: - Mechanical (Manual Wind): Traditional craftsmanship, requires daily winding, showcases horological artistry. - Automatic (Self-Winding): Powered by wrist movement, combines tradition with convenience, most popular luxury choice. - Quartz: Battery-powered, highly accurate, low maintenance, perfect for everyday reliability. - Hybrid: Combines quartz precision with mechanical complications. **Extra:** Many collectors prefer mechanical movements for their craftsmanship, but quartz watches offer unbeatable accuracy and reliability!
