A quartz movement is a type of watch movement that uses a battery to power a quartz crystal, which vibrates at a precise frequency to regulate the time. Quartz movements are accurate, reliable, and require minimal maintenance. They are commonly used in affordable watches and are known for their affordability and ease of use.

A mechanical movement is a type of watch movement that uses a mainspring to power a series of gears, which turn the watch’s hands. Mechanical movements are complex, intricate, and require regular maintenance. They are prized for their beauty, craftsmanship, and ability to be passed down as family heirlooms.

An automatic movement is a type of mechanical movement that winds itself using the wearer’s movements. Automatic movements are convenient, as they do not require manual winding, and are known for their reliability and accuracy.

Watch movements are composed of several key components, including the mainspring, gear train, balance wheel, and escapement. The mainspring stores energy, which is transmitted to the gear train, which turns the watch’s hands. The balance wheel oscillates at a precise frequency, regulating the time, while the escapement releases the energy stored in the mainspring, allowing the watch to tick.
