Mechanical watch movements can be divided into two categories: manual movements and automatic movements. Although both types of moves are considered mechanical moves, they work differently and have their pros and cons.
Manual movements require the wearer to manually wind the watch by turning the crown. Manual movements are often considered to be more traditional and offer a certain nostalgic charm. They are also often used in high-end collectible watches due to their complexity and rarity.
On the other hand, automatic movements use the natural motion of the wrist to wind the mainspring that powers the watch. Automatic movements are often considered more practical for everyday use, as they eliminate the need to manually wind the watch.
However, automatic movements also have drawbacks. They are often more expensive than manual movements due to their complexity and the need to include additional parts such as rotors. Automatic movements can also be more difficult to maintain, as moving parts can shift or wear out over time.
Ultimately, the choice between a manual movement and an automatic movement will come down to the personal preferences of the wearer and the intended use of the watch. Purists often prefer manual movements for their charm and authenticity, while people looking for a practical watch for everyday use may prefer an automatic movement.
