The Timeless Class of Mechanical Watches

A mechanical watch operates without a battery and relies entirely on pure mechanics. The energy source is a mainspring tensioned by movement or manually via the crown. This stored energy is then transferred to the movement via a system of gears and springs. The result is a reliable, accurate timekeeping system that functions completely autonomously.

There are two main types: hand-wound watches, where the wearer winds the mainspring themselves, and automatic watches , which wind themselves through wrist movement. Thanks to this self-sufficient system, a dead battery is never an issue. It contributes to both durability and ease of use, especially for those who value traditional watchmaking. The mechanical wristwatches we offer on our website are all automatic watches. You can also wind the mainspring manually in these watches.

The higher average price of a mechanical watch reflects the complexity of the production process. Each movement consists of dozens to hundreds of carefully calibrated components that are assembled with precision. This makes mechanical watches a testament to craftsmanship.

Mechanical timepieces are often considered durable investment pieces. Their longevity and timelessness mean they are often passed down from generation to generation. They combine technical sophistication with cultural heritage, offering more than just a way to tell time.

FAQ: Mechanical watches

What does mechanical clockwork mean?

A mechanical watch works with a mainspring and gears, without the use of electronics or a battery.

What is the difference between a mechanical and automatic watch?

An automatic watch is a type of mechanical watch that winds itself by wrist movement, while a manual watch is wound using the crown.

Does a mechanical watch have a battery?

No, a mechanical watch works without a battery and draws its energy from a tensioned spring.

How often should you wind a mechanical watch?

Usually daily, depending on the model, with an average power reserve of 36 to 48 hours.
