What Is a Mechanical Watch?

Mechanical watches are powered by a mainspring, not a battery. As the spring unwinds, it drives a series of gears that move the hands with precise, regulated motion. These watches come in two types:

• Manual-wind – requires winding by hand

• Automatic (self-winding) – winds itself through the motion of your wrist

Celebrated for their craftsmanship, engineering, and timeless appeal, mechanical watches are more than instruments—they’re works of art for those who appreciate the tradition and mechanics of fine watchmaking.
