Types of movements
Mechanical movement
Mechanical watches use the force of an unwinding mainspring to move the intricately assembled gears and other components inside, thereby keeping time.
Mechanical watches are less accurate than quartz watches, and their assembly requires the skilled craftsmanship of technicians. As a result, they are popular, especially in the high-end price range, and exude a handcrafted feel and sense of luxury that quartz watches lack, making them recognized as a status symbol for luxury timepieces.
Hand Winding Formula
In the basic form of a mechanical movement, winding the crown of a wristwatch winds up the "mainspring," and the force of that unwinding spring moves the hands forward.
The "balance wheel," also known as the speed regulator, uses a component that vibrates like a pendulum to control time.
The higher the oscillation frequency, the more accurate the watch tends to be, and the evolution of mechanical watches hinges on how quickly this "balance wheel" can be rotated.
Automatic winding
The basic structure of the watch is the same as that of the Hand Winding, with a semicircular weight (rotor) built inside, which rotates and winds the mainspring.It is also called "automatic" or "automatic", and the word "automatic" was added because the weight rotates and winds up the mainspring on its own by swinging the arm with the watch attached.
