Mechanical watches is driven by the main spring while quarts watches is driven by the battery. More specifically, mechanical watches is powered by unwinding power of the main spring while quartz watches are powered by step motor which current is supplied by silver oxide batteries. Most mechanical winding watches are designed to run about 36 hours upon full winding while quarts watches last two to five years on a new battery.
