Watch Movement Types
There are 3 main watch movement types - the automatic movement (also known as the self-winding movement), the mechanical movement, and the quartz watch movement, which we use for our collection.
Automatic movement watches have no internal batteries and get their energy from your body's movement. This means that an automatic watch needs to be worn continuously to provide enough energy to power the automatic watch.
Contrary to an automatic watch, a mechanical movement uses a clockwork mechanism to power itself. They are not as accurate as watches with other movements, resulting in a drop in their popularity. Watch brands only produce them as a luxury watch for collectors.

Different Types of Watch Movements
When it comes to the inner workings of a watch, the movement is the heart and soul of the timepiece. There are different types of watch movements that power the ticking of a watch and affect its accuracy, maintenance, and overall functionality. Understanding the differences between these movements can help you make an informed decision when choosing a watch that suits your preferences and lifestyle. In this article, we will explore the various types of watch movements, including mechanical, automatic, and quartz watch, and discuss the unique characteristics of each. Whether you're a watch enthusiast or simply in the market for a new timepiece, learning about these movements can deepen your appreciation for the craftsmanship and innovation that goes into creating a watch.
Automatic Movements
Automatic movements in mechanical watches can be classified into different types, including the traditional full-rotor automatic movement, the micro-rotor automatic movement, and the central-rotor automatic movement. The key differences between automatic and manual movements lie in the winding mechanism - automatic movements are powered by the motion of the wearer's wrist, while manual movements require manual winding. The unique feature and advantage of automatic movements is the convenience of never needing to wind the watch manually, as the natural motion of the wearer's wrist keeps the watch running.
The rotor and mainspring work together to power automatic movements - when the wearer moves their wrist, the rotor rotates and winds the mainspring, which then stores and releases energy to power the watch. The history and development of automatic movements in the watchmaking industry date back to the 18th century, with advancements in technology and craftsmanship leading to the innovation of more efficient and reliable automatic movements.
Well-known brands such as Rolex, Omega, and Patek Philippe are recognized for their utilization of high-quality automatic movements in their watches. When selecting a high-quality automatic movement, it is important to consider factors such as accuracy, power reserve, and craftsmanship.
Quartz Movements
Quartz movements in watches use a small piece of quartz crystal to regulate the timekeeping of the watch. When an electronic current passes through the crystal, it vibrates at a precise frequency, which is then converted into the accurate movement of the watch hands. This results in a highly accurate timekeeping, with quartz movements typically losing or gaining only a few seconds per month.
Quartz movements are powered by a battery, which provides the electric current needed to keep the crystal vibrating. This means that quartz watches do not require winding or movement to keep them running, making them low maintenance and reliable timepieces.
Quartz movements can be found in both analog and digital watches, where analog watches have traditional hour and minute hands and digital watches display time using numerals. Compared to automatic and mechanical movements, quartz movements are known for their superior accuracy and lower cost. However, some watch enthusiasts prefer the craftsmanship and tradition of automatic and mechanical movements.
The benefits of quartz movements include their accuracy, affordability, and low maintenance. However, some drawbacks include the reliance on a battery and the perception of being less prestigious than automatic or mechanical movements. Ultimately, the choice of movement type depends on individual preferences and priorities.
Mechanical Movements
Mechanical movements use a clockwork mechanism to power themselves, relying on a series of gears and springs to function. Unlike other movements, they are not as accurate, as they require manual winding to keep time. However, this inaccuracy is part of their charm and allure for watch enthusiasts.
Watch brands produce mechanical movement watches as luxury items for collectors, often incorporating intricate designs and high-quality materials to elevate their appeal. The craftsmanship and artistry that goes into creating these timepieces make them highly sought after among collectors who appreciate the traditional and historical aspects of watchmaking. These watches often carry a premium price tag, reflecting the time and dedication put into their creation.
Overall, mechanical movement watches hold a special place in the world of horology, valued for their heritage and timeless appeal. Despite their lower accuracy compared to other movements, they continue to captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike with their intricate workings and classic design.
House Movement
House movements come in three main types: analog, digital, and automatic. Analog movements utilize traditional mechanical parts to track time while digital movements use electronic displays powered by quartz technology. Automatic movements operate using a self-winding mechanism that harnesses the movement of the wearer to power the watch.
Analog movements are powered by a mainspring, which is wound manually or through the movement of the wearer's wrist. Digital movements are powered by a quartz battery, which sends electricity through a small quartz crystal to regulate timekeeping. Automatic movements use a self-winding rotor that rotates with the motion of the wearer to wind the mainspring.
Factors to consider when choosing a house movement include accuracy, maintenance, and power source. Analog movements are known for their traditional craftsmanship and accuracy, but may require regular winding. Digital movements are highly accurate and require minimal maintenance thanks to their quartz battery. Automatic movements offer the convenience of self-winding and the craftsmanship of analog movements, but may require periodic servicing.
In conclusion, the choice of house movement depends on personal preference for design and features, as well as considerations like accuracy and power source.
