What is mechanical watch movement?
Mechanical watch movements are the internal components of a watch that keeps time without electricity. This type of watch uses springs, gears and other mechanical devices to keep time, and has been made for hundreds of years.MainspringThe mainspring is the heart of the mechanical watch. The watch is powered by using small amounts of energy from a wound spring inside the movement, which is used to slowly turn gears at a controlled speed.Manual Mechanical MovementsManual movements require winding by hand, usually by winding the stem of the watch in a clockwise direction. These movements are slightly more simple than other movements, as the mainspring is wound directly. These movements often have a longer power reserve than automatic movements.Automatic Mechanical MovementsAutomatic movements are wound by a mechanism that is within the watch that will wind the watch while it is being moved. This allows for watches to power themselves by being worn on a daily basis. Most automatic movement
