About Mechanical Movements
Host Jim Skelton refers to mechanical movements as "the purest form of watch making." While mechanical movements are relatively infrequent today, they were the most commonly utilized movements some 50 years ago.
Timepieces with mechanical movements must be manually wound by the crown. Time is kept through the release of energy provided by winding. A wheel train and an escapement keep this energy regulated and set. Mechanical movements differ from quartz movements in that mechanical timepieces utilize purely mechanical components.As you have no doubt been able to guess, the mechanical components, coupled with an exhibition back, allow for a truly breathtaking aesthetic. Arduous craftsmanship is required to assemble these stunning timepieces adding to their allure.
Typically, mechanical timepieces can run for about 36-40 hours before requiring winding. While old fashioned, these are truly some of the most movements available on the market today. Furthermore, they are a must-have in any watch enthusiast's collection!
