Understanding the Differences between Quartz, Automatic, and Mechanical Watches

As a watch enthusiast, you may have heard terms like quartz, automatic, and mechanical thrown around when it comes to watch movements. But what do they really mean, and how do they impact the performance of a watch? In this post, we'll explore the differences between these types of watch movements and help you understand what makes each unique.

First, let's take a closer look at mechanical watches. These types of watches are powered by a complex system of gears and springs that work together to keep accurate time. The mainspring, which is wound by either automatic or hand-winding mechanisms, is the energy source that powers the watch. Mechanical watches have a certain charm to them that is hard to resist, and many watch enthusiasts appreciate the craftsmanship and precision that goes into making a mechanical watch.

So, what makes a mechanical watch different from a quartz watch? Quartz watches are powered by a battery and use a quartz crystal to keep time. The crystal vibrates at a very specific frequency when it is subjected to an electric current, which provides the watch with a highly accurate timekeeping mechanism. Quartz watches are known for their accuracy and affordability, and they are a great choice for those who want a reliable timepiece without breaking the bank.

But what about automatic watches? Automatic watches are a type of mechanical watch that are self-winding. They use a rotor that moves with the natural motion of the wearer's arm to wind the mainspring, which means that they do not require manual winding. Automatic watches are a great choice for those who want the charm of a mechanical watch but don't want to worry about winding it manually.

Our watches are powered by the Miyota 9100 premium automatic movement, which means that they are both automatic and hand-winding.
