What is a mechanical watch

A mechanical watch refers to a watch that uses the spring of the internal movement as power to drive gears and push the hands to keep time.

Mechanical watches do not require electricity to generate electricity, so there is no need to replace the battery. However, they do need regular cleaning and maintenance, and they have a long service life.

Mechanical watches can be divided into two categories, namely manual winding watches and automatic winding watches.

Manually wound mechanical watches rely on manual tightening of the spring to power the watch. The thickness of the movement is relatively thin and the weight is light. However, automatic watches use the power generated by the automatic rotating disk of the movement to swing left and right, and the movement is relatively thick.

Mechanical watches will be affected by gravity and produce time errors. Generally, the error of mechanical watches is within the normal range of plus or minus 45 seconds.

The difference between mechanical watches and quartz watches: 1. Internal structure: Quartz watches are commonly known as electronic watches. The internal structure is an electronic integrated board with a simple structure and is a modern electronic product.

The interior of a mechanical watch is composed of various mechanical parts, and the structure is very complex. Especially the high-end watches of big brands have exquisite internal structures and are traditional handicrafts.

2. Power source: The power source of the quartz watch is the battery, which relies on electricity to drive the travel time. Therefore, it is an electronic product with accurate travel time and the travel time error is measured in milliseconds.

Mechanical watches rely on gears between machines to drive time. Poor-quality mechanical watches have larger travel time errors, while high-quality mechanical watches from big brands have very small errors.

3. Appearance: The appearance of mechanical watches and quartz watches are also different. Quartz watches look cooler, representing fashion, trend and youthfulness; while mechanical watches have a simple appearance, a stable temperament, luxury and grandeur.
